When
you're applying for credit
Whether it’s
a credit card, a car loan, a personal
loan or a mortgage - lenders will
want to know your credit risk level.
To understand your credit risk,
most lenders will look at your credit
score. Your credit score influences
the credit that’s available
to you, and the terms (interest
rate, etc.) that lenders offer you.
It’s a vital part of your
credit health. Understanding credit
scoring can help you manage your
credit health. By knowing how your
credit risk is evaluated, you can
take actions that will lower your
credit risk - and thus raise your
score - over time. A better score
means better financial options for
you. |
