FAQs

What is a credit score?

Credit scores provide a snapshot out of 100 of the financial health and creditworthiness of an individual or organisation, calculated by measuring payment and default history, levels of debt, legal problems and more. Banks, major suppliers, and lenders will check your credit score to understand your financial position of the level of risk; better credit scores usually lead to lower interest rates and increased lending options.

Your credit score is impacted by a range of factors, including your payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, and number of new credit inquiries.

Paying your bills on time and keeping balances low will help you improve your score over time.

There are numerous ways to improve your credit score, including:

  • Paying all bills on time,
  • Keeping credit card balances low,
  • Avoid opening too many new accounts or applying for credit in a short space of time,
  • And maintaining older credit lines.
