Your credit score works like a buyer and payer history: it summarizes your credit activity over your lifetime.

So, before a lender grants you a loan, they check your score to see if you are a good payer. Credit cards tend to act the same way.

Credit score ratings (FICO model):

300 – 579: Poor credit score. 580 – 669: Fair credit score. 670 – 739: Good credit score. 740 – 799: Very good credit score. 800 – 840: Excellent credit score.

Your credit score is typically calculated using these parameters: payment history, length of credit history, types of accounts you have, the amount owed, and recent credit activity.
