What is credit, and why does it matter?
Credit impacts your ability to qualify for loans (housing, business, car, etc.), get a credit card, qualify for certain jobs, and even get security clearance. A credit score is a representation of one’s financial riskiness. Businesses, banks, or jobs use your credit score to determine how likely you are to pay back money that you owe.
