The Financial Journey is a unique series focused on financial education and opportunities. These stories have been created through a strategic partnership between Wells Fargo and Word In Black.After three decades of financial industry work, Heather Philp, Senior Vice President of Credit Card Product Management at Wells Fargo Bank, has seen it all. While some things in the finance industry have changed, many things have stayed the same.
Credit scores span from 300 to 850, and Philp said people should aim to keep their credit score comfortably in or above the 700 range.
