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.
