Definition Credit Scoring. Description.

 

Credit Scoring refers to the mathematical techniques used for ranking the creditworthiness of individuals, businesses and organizations. The result is called a credit rating.

 

Credit bureaus and credit reporting agencies provide credit information to creditors, such as banks and businesses, to help them decide whether to issue a loan or extend credit. Well-known rating agencies include Dunn & Bradstreet, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and Moody’s.
