Credit is the reputation for repaying debts on time. The better your credit, the more willing companies and people will be to lend you money. If you make credit card payments on time and repay your debts as promised, you’re building a good credit record. When you have a good credit record, lenders feel more confident that you will be willing and able to pay back a new loan.
