What Do You Mean By Credit Scores And How Is It Calculated?

Their credit score can determine an individual’s creditworthiness. A credit score is basically a 3-digit number that ranges between 300 and 900. The nation’s credit reporting agencies compute it. An optimum score is typically regarded by lenders like banks and non-banking finance firms (NBFCs) as one of 750 or higher. To calculate credit ratings, each credit bureau has its own methodology. It is computed after giving due consideration to variables including payment history, credit usage, credit age, and credit kind.
