How Credit Scores Affect Loan Rates
Lenders use your FICO score to assess risk. Borrowers with scores above 720 typically receive the lowest APRs, while those below 580 may face higher rates or need secured products. Even a 20-point improvement can unlock significantly better terms. We recommend checking your credit report before applying and disputing any inaccuracies.
Tips to Improve Your Credit Score
- Pay all bills on time; payment history accounts for 35% of your score.
- Keep credit utilization below 30% of your total available credit.
- Avoid closing old accounts; length of credit history matters.
- Limit new credit inquiries to a 14-day window when rate shopping.
- Dispute errors on your credit report with all three bureaus.
