First, what is a credit score? The score is a score assigned to consumers by SPC and Serasa. These two companies specialize in credit assessment. The SPC uses data from accredited stores and the bank's Serasa. In this sense, the score serves as a basis for understanding the risk of lending money, giving credit and some other benefits. In other words, this score serves to measure your good paying history.

The score ranges from 0 to 1000, with 0 being the riskiest to lend money. And the closer to 1000, the safer the loan will be for the institution. For example, with a score lower than 300, in the case of a credit card, the chance of the bank releasing credit is low. With loans, interest rates can be higher. A score between 300 and 700 is considered medium risk of default. Already scores between 700 and 1000 are low risk of default.

How is the credit score calculated?

It depends on the company consulted. SPC and Serasa do their calculations differently. However, there are some common points for the analysis:

  • pay bills on time;
  • keep data always up to date;
  • use financial services;
  • if you have late payments;
  • your salary, region you live in and with whom.

Having a good score is very important. If an emergency happens and you need the bank, it will check your score and know you can trust. That way, you are safer when applying for a new loan or credit card.

Even so, for those with a low score, today we are focusing on tips for those who want to finance with a low score.

What is the score for financing?

To finance a property or a car, the person needs to have a good credit score. But how much exactly is a good score? The truth is that there is no right value. There is even a minimum, but this value changes for each bank. Also, some banks have their own scoring system and just use Serasa and SPC to base it on.

To obtain a property financing in full, it is recommended to have a score of at least 700 points. However, for high-value real estate financing, there are other factors that are taken into account: such as a good relationship with the bank and monthly income.

To get financing even with a low score, you need to be aware of factors other than the score. For example, having proof of income compatible with financing is a good way. This shows the bank that you are able to afford financing. Another way is to invest in your relationship with the bank. Using all the available functions also helps in the process.
