What is credit score?

Absolutely, happy to help!

A credit score is a three-digit number that represents your creditworthiness based on your credit history. It’s a key factor that lenders, landlords, and even some employers use to evaluate how responsible you are with credit and how likely you are to repay borrowed money.

Credit scores typically range from 300 to 850. The higher your score, the more trustworthy you appear to potential creditors. Here’s a general breakdown:

– 300-579: Poor

– 580-669: Fair

– 670-739: Good

– 740-799: Very Good

– 800-850: Excellent

Your credit score is influenced by factors such as your payment history, credit utilization ratio, length of credit history, types of credit accounts, and recent credit inquiries.

To improve your credit score, focus on paying your bills on time, keeping your credit card balances low, maintaining a good mix of credit accounts, and avoiding opening multiple new credit accounts at once.

Understanding your credit score and taking steps to improve it can help you qualify for better interest rates on loans, credit cards, and even save you money in the long run.
