The variety of credit accounts you have — credit cards (revolving), auto loans (installment), mortgage, student loans, etc. Having multiple types shows you can manage different kinds of debt.
Credit mix accounts for about 10% of your FICO score. Having only credit cards isn't as strong as having a card, an installment loan, and a mortgage.
Example
Borrower A has 3 credit cards. Borrower B has 2 credit cards, a car loan, and a student loan. Even with the same payment history and utilization, Borrower B may be scored differently.
A 3-digit number (300-850) that summarizes how reliably you've handled borrowed money. Higher scores can affect lender risk assessment and the terms shown to you.
Your credit score is one factor lenders may use when reviewing eligibility and pricing. Score differences can materially affect total interest over a loan term.
Example
On a $250,000 30-year mortgage: different score ranges may be associated with different rates, monthly payments, and total interest.
The percentage of your available credit that you're currently using. If you have $10,000 in credit limits and owe $3,000, your utilization is 30%.
Utilization is the second-biggest factor in your credit score (after payment history). Lower utilization can support credit-score context; very low utilization is often viewed more favorably.
Example
You have 3 cards with a $15,000 total limit. You're carrying $4,500 in balances (30% utilization). Paying down to $1,500 (10% utilization) could change your score context.
The maximum amount a credit card company allows you to borrow on a single card. Going over this limit can trigger fees and hurt your credit score.
Your credit limit directly affects your utilization ratio. A higher limit with the same spending means lower utilization and a better score. You can request limit increases.
Example
Card A: $3,000 limit, you spend $1,500 = 50% utilization (bad). Card B: $10,000 limit, you spend $1,500 = 15% utilization (good). Same spending, different impact on your score.
