Credit ScoreYour credit score is a number between 300 and 850. Why should you care
about your credit score? Lenders use it to decide how much money to loan to
you and at what rate. The higher your score the lower your interest rate will
be when borrowing money to purchase a car, house, etc.
How is your credit score calculated? The two most important factors are
1. Payment History: Lenders look at credit card behavior and installment
loans (mortgages, student loans). Improve your score by making
consistent timely payments.
2. Credit utilization: The percent of available credit that has been borrowed.
Try to maintain low credit balances (<30% of credit limit). Lenders
view people who habitually max out credit cards as people who can’t
handle debt. Your repayment history and level of debt are important
factors in determining your credit score.

Student credit cards are designed for building credit. They have a low
