Experts say that if your credit score is above 750 then it is considered as a good credit score. Having a credit score of 750 or more increases your chances of getting a loan or credit card.
Credit Score: Some people get loan easily from the bank, while some people have to make a lot of papad in it. Actually, whether you will get a loan from the bank or not, it depends on your credit score. Those who have good credit score can get loan easily. Credit score reflects the credit history of an individual. It mentions the number of credit accounts held by an individual, total debt, repayment history and inquiries made by the borrower for the loan. This score is like a ‘first impression’ in a loan application. However, this does not mean that the CIBIL score alone decides whether the loan application is approved or not, but being higher increases the chances of the loan application being approved.

What do experts say
Neeraj Dhawan, managing director, Experian India, says, “Consumers who have a good credit score have less risk of losing money to the lender. Similarly, the chances of the applicant getting a loan at a lower rate of interest also increase when the risk is lower. He further adds, “The credit score improves when the loan is repaid on time and regularly. In this way, getting a loan becomes easier with a better credit score. An advantage of having a better credit score is that the borrower has the option of several banks and financial institutions before taking a loan. He can choose the best bank for himself by comparing other important things including interest rate.
