Credit Score
A numerical rating (typically 0-999 in South Africa) that represents your creditworthiness based on your credit history. A higher score means you are more likely to be approved for credit and may qualify for better interest rates.
Usage Examples
"My credit score improved from 580 to 720 after I paid off my store cards."
"A credit score above 650 generally qualifies you for better interest rates on personal loans."
"Check your credit score for free before applying so you know where you stand."
