Página principalA higher score (especially above 760) may give you more options — and better rates — if you ever need a car loan, mortgage, or home equity line of credit. Even if you don’t have immediate plans to apply for financing, good credit may help you in other ways, like lower insurance premiums, renting an apartment and certain employers even run credit checks on job applicants prior to hiring them. Focusing on developing good long-term credit habits is an investment in yourself. Here are some specific actions you can take that may help to improve your score over time.
760+, Excellent
You generally qualify for the best rates, depending on debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and collateral value.
700-759, Good
You typically qualify for credit, depending on DTI and collateral value, but may not get the best rates.
621-699, Fair
You may have more difficulty obtaining credit, and will likely pay higher rates for it.
620 & below, Poor
You may have difficulty obtaining unsecured credit.
No credit score
You may not have built up enough credit to calculate a score, or your credit has been inactive for some time.
