Kredittvurderinger

Kredittvurderinger, also known as credit scoring or credit rating, is a process used by lenders and other financial institutions to assess the creditworthiness of an individual or a business. This assessment helps determine the likelihood that a borrower will repay a debt. The evaluation is typically based on an analysis of an individual's or business's financial history, including past borrowing and repayment behavior, existing debt levels, income, and employment stability.

Credit scoring systems generate a numerical score, with higher scores generally indicating lower credit risk. This score is a key factor in decisions regarding loan approvals, interest rates, credit card limits, and even rental applications or insurance premiums. Different credit bureaus and reporting agencies maintain these records, and individuals have the right to access their own credit reports to review the information used in their assessment. Maintaining a good credit history is therefore important for financial well-being.
