Frequently asked questions

What is credit utilization?

It is the percentage of your available credit you are using. If you owe 2,500 against a 10,000 limit, your utilization is 25%.

What utilization should I aim for?

Many credit experts suggest keeping utilization below 30%, and lower is generally better for your score. Paying down balances before the statement date helps.
