What Is Experian Credit Score?
A credit score is a 3-digit number that shows how likely you are to get credit. Before a lender agrees to lend you money, they need to understand how likely you are to pay it back. To do this, they look at your credit score which is provided by a credit bureau like Experian. The credit score ranges from 300 to 900, 900 being the highest. The higher your credit score, the greater the chances of you getting approved for a loan.

You can have credit cards but you have to pay hefty interest rates if you want to use them as a loan. You need to go for a personal loan if you need cash. But Freo credit has a kind of 2-in-1 facility that lets you withdraw cash when you need it and change it to EMI as well [with lower interest rates]. I think it's really helpful and unique.
