Credit Score Range
Your credit score is a number between 0 and 999 (on TransUnion) or 0 to 705 (on Experian) that basically rates your financial behaviour. Anything above 650 is decent. Below 500 is kak and you'll get declined or face extortionate rates.
Usage Examples
"Sipho's TransUnion score was 720 and he walked into Capitec and got approved for R50,000 at prime plus 4%. Solid."
"Thandi's score was 380 and every mainstream bank said no. She had to go to a micro-lender and pay 29% interest because she was in the basement."
"Nomsa worked her score up from 520 to 680 over two years by paying everything on time. Suddenly the same banks that rejected her were calling her with better offers."
