Why is my credit score so important?

Most people don’t realize how important their credit score is until they come across a financial product they can’t obtain, due to their low score. A credit score is a three-digit number ranging from 300-900, based on a level analysis of a person’s credit files, to represent the creditworthiness of an individual. It’s a temporary snapshot of your credit report at the time your inquiry took place and changes frequently. Having a low credit score can affect your chances of obtaining a personal loan, car loan, mortgage or even sometimes, renting a place or obtaining a cellphone contract.
The beauty of a credit score is that there are always ways you can improve it. Whether you’re looking for a way to boost your score a few points in order to qualify for that much-needed loan, or trying to qualify for lower interest rates, longer repayment periods on loans and even a better chance of getting approved for other financial products you’re interested in.
