CREDIT SCORE 101: UNDERSTANDING THE LINGO

What Impacts Your Credit Score

Your credit score is a three-digit number that is a crucial factor that impacts loan and credit card approvals, rental agreements, and even phone plans. A good credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, better loan terms, and more financial opportunities. Your credit score is created from these factors:

  • Payment History: On time payments boost your credit score.
  • Credit Utilization: Keeping balances low on your credit cards raises your credit score. 
  • Length of Credit History: A longer credit history is beneficial. Don’t cancel unused credit cards.
  • New Credit: Frequent applications for new credit can lower your score.
  • Credit Mix: A mix of credit types (loan, mortgage, credit card, etc.) can positively impact your credit score.

WHAT IS A GOOD CREDIT SCORE

Understanding Makes All the Difference

 If you are curious about what is a good credit score, you aren’t alone! While many people understand credit scores are important, there is some confusion on what qualifies as a good or bad credit score.
Good credit scores can help you get approved for loans or mortgages at lower interest rates, while poor credit scores can prevent you from getting approved for a rental agreement, electricity, cell service, loans, credit cards, and more. While lenders have different criteria, here is a general guideline to help you find out if your credit score is good or needs improvement.

  • Excellent credit score: 800+
  • Very good credit score: 740 – 799
  • Good credit score: 670 – 739
  • Fair credit score: 580 – 669
  • Poor credit score: Under 580
