Creditworthiness

Creditworthiness is the evaluation of an individual’s or entity’s ability to repay borrowed money. It is determined by assessing factors like credit history, current financial situation, income, and debt obligations. Creditworthiness is used by lenders to determine whether to approve loans or credit applications and to set interest rates. The higher the creditworthiness, the more likely the borrower will be approved for credit on favorable terms.

Example

A person with a long history of paying bills on time, a high credit score, and low debt will be considered highly creditworthy and can qualify for loans with low-interest rates.
