Understanding Your Credit Score

What Factors Affect Your Score?

  • Payment History (35%) - On-time payments are the biggest factor.
  • Credit Utilization (30%) - Keep balances below 30% of your limits.
  • Length of Credit History (15%) - Older accounts help your score.
  • Credit Mix (10%) - A mix of credit types is beneficial.
  • New Credit (10%) - Avoid opening many accounts at once.
