A credit score is an indicator of how consistent you are with repaying your debts. When you borrow money from lenders like banks, your repayment information is sent to credit information companies that compute a credit score. The higher your credit score, the better your chances of securing loans with favourable terms. A credit score is also known as a credit rating.
