Credit Checks and Reporting for the Relay Visa® Credit Card

UpdatedAugust 11, 2026

Relay reports Relay Visa® Credit Card payment activity to three major commercial credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Dun & Bradstreet) and does not check or report to personal credit bureaus.

Who this is for

  • Business owners applying for or using the Relay Visa® Credit Card

  • Beneficial owners who want to view their business credit score inside Relay

  • Team members and advisors who need to understand what shows on personal versus business credit

The Relay Visa® Credit Card is available only to businesses that meet the eligibility requirements confirmed during in-app application review. See How to Apply for the Relay Visa® Credit Card for the full list.

Does Relay run a credit check when I apply for the Relay Visa® Credit Card?

No. Applying for the Relay Visa® Credit Card does not require a personal or business credit score check. Eligibility is confirmed during in-app application review based on your business's activity with Relay.

Which credit bureaus does Relay report to?

Relay reports Relay Visa® Credit Card payment activity to the three major commercial credit bureaus:

  • Equifax

  • Experian

  • Dun & Bradstreet

Reporting covers payment behavior on the card, such as whether balances were paid on time.

Does the Relay Visa® Credit Card affect my personal credit score?

No. Relay does not report Relay Visa® Credit Card activity to personal consumer credit bureaus such as Equifax Consumer, Experian Consumer, or TransUnion. Only your business credit profile is affected.
