What is a good credit score

A good credit score is generally considered to be 700 or higher, although the exact definition may vary depending on the credit scoring model used. In the United States, the most widely used credit scoring model is the FICO score, which ranges from 300 to 850.

Here is a breakdown of the FICO credit score ranges and their corresponding meanings:

A credit score of 750 or higher is considered excellent, indicating a borrower has a very good credit history and is likely to repay debts on time.

A credit score between 700 and 749 is considered good, indicating a borrower has a good credit history and is likely to repay debts on time.

A credit score between 650 and 699 is considered fair, indicating a borrower has a decent credit history but may have some issues with debt repayment.

A credit score between 600 and 649 is considered poor, indicating a borrower has a troubled credit history and may have difficulty repaying debts.

A credit score below 600 is considered bad, indicating a borrower has a very poor credit history and may not be able to repay debts.
