Credit, in the simplest terms, involves payment for a good or service with the promise that the funds will be paid back over time. Depending on the length of time given to repay the loan, a charge for borrowing begins to build. This fee is called interest.
Several factors affect your credit score*, including the following:
- Number of credit cards in your name
- Number of current loans
- Your payment history (late vs. on time)
Credit plays a critical role when making major purchases, like a home, or when you apply for any type of loan. Most lenders will look at your credit score to determine the risk you present. For instance, if your credit history shows that you consistently make payments on time, you present a lower risk than a borrower who can’t be relied upon to do the same.
How Do I Know If My Credit Score Is Good?
These five key components are involved in calculating your credit score:
- Number of accounts opened
- Types of accounts
- Used credit vs. available credit
- Length of credit history
- Payment history (on time vs. late)
This evaluation will result in a three-digit number, ranging from 300 to 850. The higher the number, the better your credit score. Again, a “good” credit score gives lenders confidence that you will pay back the money on time.
A low score means that it could be more difficult for you to get approved for a loan or a credit card. While having “bad” credit does not necessarily mean you will be denied, it could mean higher interest rates on the credit you do receive. This means that you will pay more over time.
