A strong credit score is essential for securing credit with favourable terms. To increase your chances of approval and to obtain better interest rates, it's important to maintain a good or excellent credit rating.
Different lenders may have varying thresholds for what they consider to be a good or excellent credit score, based on their scoring model. Simply put, having a high credit score means you demonstrate to the lender you are a low-risk borrower, whereas having a low credit score may make it more difficult to get approved for new credit.
Typically, credit scoring ranges are categorised as follows:
If you are wondering how you can build your credit score, below are some of the simple steps you can follow to improve your credit rating:
To ensure your details are up to date and to keep on top of any potential errors, make sure you check your credit report often. Even something as small as a mistake in your address can harm future applications for credit.
Using up a large amount of your available credit limit on your pre-existing credit cards can also result in a bad credit score.
To prove to lenders that you are a responsible borrower, try to avoid maxing out your credit limits and, where possible, pay off the balance in full as often as you can.
It may seem obvious but making sure you pay your bills on time is one of the simplest ways you can ensure your credit score isn't negatively affected.
Missing or making late payments can seriously impact your credit rating. To ensure this doesn't happen, set up direct debits so that you pay your monthly utility bills on time.
Applying for multiple loans or other financial products in a short space of time can quickly hurt your credit score.
When you apply for credit, some lenders could perform a 'hard search', which appears on your credit report and in turn lowers your credit score. With Zable, you can check if you’ll be accepted without affecting your credit score. We won’t perform a hard search until you accept a quote.
