750-900: Excellent — best loan rates, instant digital approvals

700-749: Good — most loans approved competitively

650-699: Fair — approval possible, higher rates likely

600-649: Poor — major bank rejection likely

Below 600: Very Poor — very difficult to get unsecured loans

When to Check Your Score

Before applying for a loan or credit card: Check 3-6 months before so you have time to improve if needed.

After any credit event: Opening a new account, closing an account, or receiving a rejection.

Quarterly monitoring: Check every 3 months to catch errors or identity theft early.

After loan repayment: Verify your score improved as expected.
