Will applying for multiple credit cards or loans harm my credit score?

Yes, applying for several credit products within a short time frame can have a negative impact on your credit score. This is because each application typically results in a “hard inquiry” on your credit report, which can lower your score temporarily. It is best to space out credit applications and only apply when necessary.
