A credit rating is an assessment of the possible ability of a borrower to default on a loan. Credit rating agencies and credit bureaus provide credit information to financial institutions. It helps them to make a decision whether to approve a loan or not. The information includes your payment history, employment and personal information, list of current and past credit accounts and their balances, and history of past credit problems.</p>
<p>Credit rating can be assigned to sovereign governments, regional and local executive bodies, financial organizations, and corporations. There are different types of credit ratings: personal, corporate, and sovereign. Personal credit ratings, also known as credit score, describe one&#8217;s capability of borrowing money through financial institutions like banks and credit cards. When you apply for a credit card or mortgage, your credit rating is checked. Your credit ratings are drawn from your credit report that is a profile of your charging, borrowing, and repayment activities. People with higher credit ratings tend to qualify for lower-cost loans, while people with lower ratings might have to pay a higher interest rate.</p>
<p>Corporate credit ratings (bond credit rating) are used to evaluate the bonds issued by enterprises or economic bodies. It is an opinion of a company&#8217;s overall creditworthiness. The rating shows financial, sectorial, operational, legal, and organizational sides of the company.</p>
<p>Sovereign credit rating shows the overall ability of a country to provide a secure investment environment. It is used by investors who are looking to invest abroad. It reveals factors like levels of public and private investment flows, foreign direct investment, country&#8217;s economic status, foreign currency reserves, political stability, transparency in the capital market, and the ability for a country&#8217;s economy to stay constant regardless of political change.</p>
<p>All credit ratings are revised and monitored on a continued basis by rating agencies. International rating agencies assign short-term and long-term credit ratings. Short-term rating evaluates the probability of borrower?s default within one year. Long-term rating gives the likelihood of default over a longer time.<br />

Credit rating scores are numbers produced by a mathematical formula according to the information contained in your credit report. This information is processed through special software and a score is arrived at. The score is used by financial institutions for evaluating an individual&#8217;s possible ability to pay back a debt.</p>
<p>Credit rating scores vary at different times depending on the changes or additions in your credit history. Every credit rating score is accompanied by a maximum of four reason codes. Reason codes indicate the reason why a consumer did not score high. There are various credit rating systems. Fair Isaac Credit Rating Score (FICO) is the most widely used system of credit scoring in the United States.</p>
<p>The scores depend on several factors including payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, pattern of credit use, and types of credit in use. Factors that can damage your credit rating score include absence of credit references, late payments, and unfavorable credit card use.</p>
<p>Usually, credit rating score is a three digit number ranging between 375 and 900. The median score in the United States is about 720. Higher scores mean more financing options and better interest rates. Scores below certain numbers result in the rejection of credit. When you apply for a mortgage, home equity loan, car loan, line of credit, or business loan, the financial institutions first check your credit rating scores from the credit bureaus.</p>
<p>Credit rating scores significantly affect your ability to get credit. Borrowers now use the scores as a part of their general financial promotion strategy. Some insurance companies use your credit rating score to set your premium rates and some prospective employers use this to estimate your sense of responsibility.<br />

There are a variety of different credit cards available, from low interest cards, cash back cards and even reward credit cards, it&#8217;s hard to decide what exactly the best credit cards are.</p>
<p>The best credit cards are generally going to have a few things in common. The first thing, being a low interest rate. Low interest cards can save you money over time, by not requiring you to pay large amounts of interest on your purchases. Some of the best credit cards in addition to offering a low interest rate will be reward credit cards. Reward credit card will give the user some sort of incentive for choosing their card to make a purchase rather than another. Rewards can vary from cash back to gift certificates at your favorite department store. Some cards will even offer actual merchandise or trips as rewards for using the card.</p>
<p>Compare different offers you receive for credit cards in the mail, and look for the credit card offer which is giving you the most perks for the least amount of money. Be sure to pay special attention to any membership or annual fees that the card may charge. Often credit cards with fantastic rewards will come at fantastic prices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using your credit cards wisely might be the most important and beneficial decision you can make towards financial health. The reason for this is simple: high interest rates on credit cards can cost you more than money if you find yourself unable to make your payments on time.<br />
Consider this: For most consumers, home payments (or rent payments), along with automobile payments are usually the two most expensive debts that a consumer carries. These two payments alone can often account for over 30% of a consumer&#8217;s take home pay per month. When high-interest rate credit cards are added to this, the overall cost per month can easily reach 60% or more of take home pay. That does not leave much for other expenses such as food, clothing, car insurance, personal loans, etc. For many consumers, the payments on their credit cards are the most expensive debt that they carry. In other words, the total amount of money that they have to send in on payments is higher than what they spend on home loan payments or automobile payments.</p>
<p>There are many reasons why credit cards can become a threat to your financial health, but the number one reason is that they are so easy to use. The number of people who use credit cards for small, incidental purchases is staggering. Consumers often forget that if they do not pay off the entire balance owed within the grace period allowed they will be charged interest. Some companies will be fair about this charge, but most will happily charge as much as they can for the credit they are extending to you.</p>
<p>To make matters worse, if you are late on your payments, or if you do not make any payment at all, this can be reflected in your credit score. It does not take very long at all for delinquent payments or non-payments to hit your credit report and once they are on your report they stay there for up to seven years. These marks against your credit will often cause lenders to either deny you future loans or cause them to levy higher interest rates on accounts that you may wish to open. All in all, late payments will cost you money in the future.</p>
<p>The very best way to handle credit cards is to pay off the balances as they occur. This not only makes you look good in your credit report but it also keeps you from having to pay those high interest rates for balances that are carried over. The second thing to do is to avoid using your credit cards unless you honestly need to do so. Instead of paying with your card, pay with cash. This one action can save you more money than you might imagine. Yes, it is easier to pay with the card sometimes, but it is also more costly.</p>
<p>If you feel you are already in trouble, sit down with your statements and make a plan to begin paying them down. Start with the credit cards that have the lowest balances. Once these are paid off, move to the next highest and begin paying these down. It will take patience and sacrifice, but it can be done and soon your credit cards will be under control.</p>

Why is a good credit rating so important? It can set the stage for how the rest of your life will unfold. The strength of your credit will determine whether or not you are able to buy a home or rent an apartment, pay a decent price for auto insurance, or get that good job you are up for. A great way to set the stage for stress-free credit is to let your bank help you get your credit score get off to a good start.<br />
Keep a Check on Things</p>
<p>If you have never had a credit card before, it&#8217;s still a good idea to check your credit report. If your report is empty, then you should open a checking and/or savings account at a bank of your choice. How can this help you to get your credit started? When you have had either of these accounts and kept them in good standing for a period of time, a lender is going to look upon you much more favorably. Especially if you are a young adult, it shows responsibility when you have managed to keep an account solvent without it going into arrears.</p>
<p>Your bank can help your credit rating in other ways, too. Once you have had your checking or savings account for 6 months or longer, your bank may allow you to apply for a secured credit card. This is the type of credit card where you must deposit money in another account with your bank in the amount that you want the credit limit on your card to be. These cards are popular with young people just starting out, as well as people who are starting over with their credit history.</p>
<p>When you have had your secured credit card for anywhere from a year to 18 months, many banks will let you convert it over to a regular, unsecured credit card. Both the secured and the unsecured credit cards will help you to build your credit if your bank reports to any of the three main credit bureaus.</p>
<p>Once you have started your credit history with a bank account and a bank credit card, you can branch out a bit and get a single credit card from a gas company or a major department store. These are good choices for credit cards because they typically are easier to get than cards like American Express or Mastercard. You donâ€™t want to get too many cards at this point. Your goal is to slowly build a solid credit history, and getting too many credit cards at an early age can be a recipe for disaster. Slow and steady wins the credit card race!</p>
<p>Use your cards regularly and keep the payments strictly up to date in order for your credit rating to build up to the point where you will have a top credit score. As an added bonus, your bank credit rating will rise as you prove your credit worthiness.</p>
