Krediidiruum

Krediidiruum, meaning "credit space" in Estonian, refers to the amount of money that a lender is willing to make available to a borrower. This can apply to various financial products such as credit cards, lines of credit, or mortgages. Essentially, it is the maximum sum that a borrower can draw upon at any given time.

The size of a borrower's krediidiruum is determined by the lender's assessment of their creditworthiness. This evaluation typically considers factors like income, employment history, existing debts, and credit score. A higher creditworthiness generally translates to a larger krediidiruum. Lenders set these limits to mitigate their risk of default.

For consumers, the krediidiruum on a credit card or line of credit represents the maximum balance they can carry. Exceeding this limit is usually not possible, or may incur significant fees. For businesses, a krediidiruum might be a revolving line of credit essential for managing cash flow, covering operational expenses, or seizing investment opportunities. Understanding and managing one's krediidiruum is crucial for maintaining good financial health and achieving financial goals.
