There is no reason to credit bank, it's a $cam of $orts. For your college credits earned at an accredited college, DSST, CLEP, AP, and ACE credits, these are all held for you for free by the source. There are only 1-2 situations when someone benefits from a bank, but it's not like most people think, it doesn't neatly put them all in one place for later- it only does that for you. Sometimes you may need a collection of credits for an employer, and if your credits are from a variety of sources, it might feel neat and tidy to present them on a credit bank transcript, but you're not saving any money or time.

To explain this better, let's say you sent all of your transcripts to TESC and bought a credit bank account. Now, let's suppose you apply to EC. EC will want all original transcripts, they won't accept a credit bank summary, it's not an original transcript. So, now that you've paid the first time to have alllll your documents sent to TESC, you've then paid to house them for the year, now you get to pay AGAIN to have all official transcripts sent to TESC. See? Nothing gained, but extra money and time wasted.
