Term of the Day: Credit Score
If you're planning to apply for a home loan, investment property loan, personal loan or other finance, you've probably heard the term credit score.
A credit score is a number that reflects information in your credit history, including how you've managed credit over time. While it's an important factor, it's not the only thing lenders look at. They may also consider your income, living expenses, existing debts, savings and overall financial position when assessing your application.
Credit information may form part of a lender's assessment, alongside factors such as income, expenses, existing debts and the lender's own criteria.
Understanding your financial position before applying can help you prepare with greater confidence.
