Your credit score tells the story of your financial
lifestyle. It’s built from six main factors that show how
you manage money, commitments, and trust.
Every decision counts, from the way you repay loans to how you manage your income. These six key factors come together to tell your financial story and show lenders how dependable you are.

Credit Profile & Repayment History (60%)
Consistency Builds Confidence
Your payment habits tell the biggest part (60%) of your credit story. Paying on time and keeping balances clear show lenders you are dependable. Each payment builds trust and keeps your score strong.
Bounced cheques make up 15% of your score and can affect how reliable you appear. Clearing them quickly helps rebuild confidence and protect your reputation.
Judgement debts make up 10% of your credit score and reflect unpaid financial obligations. Settling them or keeping your record clear helps rebuild trust and improves your standing with lenders.
A steady job, regular income, and reliable living conditions make up 7% of your score. This shows lenders that you can stay consistent and manage your commitments with confidence.
Your bank account balance makes up 5% of your score. A healthy bank balance gives the assurance of your ability to meet future commitments and also sustain financial shocks.
All six components work together to form your complete credit score. Consistency in repayments and responsible financial behavior can significantly improve your rating.
A strong score opens opportunities, from easier approvals to better loan terms. Understanding what shapes it is the first step toward improving it.
