What is a good FICO score?

Asked 2 years ago
A good FICO score typically ranges from 700 to 749, although this can vary slightly depending on the specific version of the FICO Score being used. Scores in this range indicate that the individual is generally considered a responsible borrower, which can result in more favorable loan terms and interest rates. A score of 750 or higher is often classified as very good to excellent. It is important to note that FICO scores range from 300 to 850, with scores below 600 generally seen as poor. Lenders may use different criteria when evaluating creditworthiness, so what is considered a good score can depend on the lender's specific requirements. For those interested in improving their score, maintaining a low credit utilization ratio, paying bills on time, and avoiding new hard inquiries can be beneficial. For more detailed information, it may be helpful to visit the official FICO website.
