My Credit Report
What is a Credit Report and Credit Score?
A credit report is a history of your banking interactions. It displays your personal information as it relates to your ID number, date of birth, home and office addresses and phone numbers. It also contains a record of your current and past financial information relating to the loan requests made by you, loans approved, a 24-month payment history of each account (active and closed) and payment defaults, if any. A credit score is a numerical representation of your creditworthiness that is calculated based on multiple factors from your credit report, such as your history of on-time payments or the number of accounts in good standing. Lenders in Pakistan are increasingly using credit scores as an indicator to determine if you are considered a low-risk customer, and you can typically negotiate better terms with a higher score.
