UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n
Credit Score explained<\/h5>\n\n
What is a credit score?<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the UAE your credit score is a number generated by the Al Etihad Credit Bureau (AECB),\u00a0which represents your credit worthiness \u2013 in other words, your risk of defaulting on any debt repayments. In this country, the number is between 300 and 900. A low score indicates\u00a0a higher risk of default, while a high score indicates you are a lower risk.<\/p>\n
Why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\nFinancial institutions will use it to decide whether or not you are a credit risk. Those with better scores may also receive preferential interest rates or terms on products such as loans, credit cards and mortgages.<\/p>\n
How is it calculated?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe AECB collects information on your payment behaviour from banks as well as utilitiy and telecoms providers.<\/p>\n
How can I improve my score?<\/strong><\/p>\nBy paying your bills on time and not missing any repayments, particularly your loan, credit card and mortgage payments. It is also wise to limit the\u00a0number of credit card and loan applications you make and to reduce your outstanding balances.<\/p>\n
How do I know if my score is low or high?<\/strong><\/p>\nBy checking it. Visit one of AECB\u2019s Customer Happiness Centres with an original and valid Emirates ID, passport copy and valid email address. Liv. customers can also access the score directly from the banking app.<\/p>\n
How much does it cost?<\/strong><\/p>\nA credit report costs Dh100 while a report with the score included costs Dh150. Those only wanting the credit score pay Dh60. VAT is payable on top.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
