Your credit score reflects your credit health and affects your financial journey. But have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of your credit score? The Bajaj Finserv Credit Pass is a game-changing innovation that helps you to track and analyse the key factors impacting your credit health. Before we delve into how that works, let’s have a quick look at the five most important elements that determine your CIBIL Score.

What are the factors that affect my credit health?

5 key factors act like puzzle pieces that, when put together, form a complete picture of your creditworthiness:

1. Repayment history: Punctual repayment of your dues positively impacts your credit score because it shows that you’re a reliable borrower. Late payments can leave a dent in your credit health, and payments that are later than 60 days can stay on your report for seven whole years, seriously damaging your reputation as a borrower.
2. Credit utilisation: Using 30% or less of your available credit demonstrates responsible credit management, which impresses lenders. Maxing out your credit cards, however, makes you seem incapable of properly handling your finances and drags down your CIBIL Score.
3. Length of credit history: The longer your credit history, the better. It provides a solid track record for lenders to assess your ability to handle credit over time, and it positively contributes to your credit score.
4. Credit mix: A diverse portfolio comprising a healthy mix of different credit types is good for your CIBIL Score. It shows lenders you’re capable of managing different financial obligations efficiently. 
5. Credit enquiries: Every time you apply for credit, it leaves a mark on your credit report for up to 2 years. Too many such ‘hard’ enquiries, especially within a short time, can raise concerns for lenders. The lenders may interpret the situation as you being desperate for credit. This drags down your credit score.

Importance of tracking credit health factors

The table below outlines the weightage of each of the five key factors in calculating your three-digit CIBIL Score:

Key factors	Weightage
Repayment history	35%
Credit utilisation	30%
Length of credit history	15%
Credit mix	10%
Credit enquiries	10%

Tracking the factors that affect your credit health, much like tracking the factors that affect your physical health, is essential. Ensuring your credit health is in good standing is crucial to your financial life. It affects your ability to secure loans and get approved for credit cards. Your credit health even impacts the interest rates offered to you. By monitoring the factors that contribute to the calculation of your all-important CIBIL Score, you gain valuable insights that can help you make smart financial decisions and proactively work towards achieving your financial goals.
