What is STPC/CBNA?
STPC/CBNA is a credit report code that stands for Staples/Citibank North America.
STPC/CBNA may be on your credit report as a hard inquiry. This usually happens when you apply for a Staples credit card issued by Citibank.
The Impact of Hard Inquiries on Your Credit Score
A hard inquiry on your credit report typically causes your credit score to drop by a few points. While this may not seem significant, multiple hard inquiries within a short period can add up and have a more substantial negative impact on your credit score. Lenders may view multiple hard inquiries as a sign of financial instability or that you’re seeking credit too aggressively.
How long do hard inquiries stay on your credit report?
Hard inquiries can remain on your credit report for up to two years. Each time you initiate a credit inquiry, it is recorded by one or all of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. After two years, the hard inquiries are removed from your report automatically.
