How do I Change my Email Attached to my CreditKarma.com Account?
Safeguarding your financial profile is very important to everyone. You want to know what is going on with your credit score and your credit reports, but paying for a credit report can become expensive if you have already exhausted the free yearly report provided by the three major credit bureaus. That is where CreditKarma can help. CreditKarma provides a free source of real-time credit reporting that will help you stay on top of your financial obligations. Your CreditKarma account is linked to the email account you entered when you signed up for the service; however, you may find that you need to change your email information in your account. Compromised email accounts could leave your CreditKarma account vulnerable, which could leave your identify and bank accounts vulnerable. Additionally, as circumstances change, email addresses may also change.

You can contact customer service here, or you can follow these easy steps to updating your CreditKarma profile:
- Log into your CreditKarma account.

- Log into your new email address and open the email from CreditKarma. Open this email and click on the link provided to verify your new email address.

By regularly updating your email address in CreditKarma you are adding another layer of protection to your financial profile. Just as passwords should be regularly updated, email address should also be updated to reduce the chances of identity theft.
