Understand your Credably score

What your score means, what affects it and how to improve it.

Last updated: 13 October 2026

Your Credably score runs from 0 to 1000. You can see it on your dashboard along with your credit limit and what affects it.

Score bands

  • Building (0–549): where every new customer starts — keep payments on time to build history.
  • Fair (550–649): you've got some history — keep going to unlock better terms.
  • Good (650–749): eligible for most installment plans at partner stores.
  • Very Good (750–849): a strong history, with higher limits and longer plans.
  • Credably (850–1000): the top band, earned through consistent repayments.

What affects your score

  • Payment history (top weight): whether you've paid past installments on time. This is the biggest factor.
  • Amounts owed (top weight): how much of your income already goes to other debts.
  • Length of credit history (major): how long you've had credit.
  • Credit mix and new credit (minor): the kinds of credit you have and how recently you applied, including how recently your identity was verified.

How to improve it

  • Pay every installment on time.
  • Pay down other loans where you can.
  • Keep your identity verification up to date.

Checking your eligibility doesn't affect your score. Missed payments are recorded on your Credably score.
