your credit report

Understand your credit report and take control of your financial future

Your credit report reflects your financial behaviour— it includes your credit history, active credit accounts and your credit score. Lenders use this information when assessing whether to approve you for credit.

By reviewing and understanding your credit report, you’ll have a better understanding of how financial institutions and other credit providers see you.

If you’re at least 18 years of age and you are, or have been, a borrower, credit reporting bodies (CRBs) such as Experian are likely to hold credit reporting information about you. You are entitled to obtain this information free of charge at least quarterly if you would like.
