What is credit?


Credit is a medium by which you can buy whenever you feel urgency and pay later.

For a certain time a creditor helps the borrower by giving money either cash form or as per the requirement of the borrower.

Let’s have an example: You have a shortage of $15,000 for purchasing a car. Will you wait for saving money and buy that car latter or prefer to use credit to finance the purchase. Now you will borrow money and meet your requirement. But here you need to sign an agreement to repay the credit over a certain said period (Years/Months).

Credit cards are the electronic and an instant medium to take credit. Credits can be taken in the form of home mortgage, auto loans, student loans, small business loans, trading finance, etc. You can also take credit to reserve hotels, rent a car, book an airline ticket, getting a home mortgage and many more.

Credit history or credit rating plays a vital role when you request for loans, insurance, employment and even leases. Maintaining a strong credit rating favors drawing more loans for your business or any purpose. A creditor may choose to grant or deny your request for credit based on your credit history.

What is a credit history?

Credit history is a complete record of all your credit cards, loans, and other credit you have taken for a certain period of time.

One can get detail information of repayment, credit cards, loans and other credit obligations that you have assumed over a period of time. Credit history shows how much you have borrowed (or the amount of your credit limit), number of payments and whether you have met the obligations of the repayment terms.

Credit history of the borrowers are maintained by credit bureaus, which supply information when there will be an evaluation of application for credit required.
