Credit Scores and Reports
Your credit score is a rating of your creditworthiness, or basically how risky it is to lend you money. When you apply for a loan or a credit card, your credit score is one of the things a lender will consider in deciding whether to approve your loan request and the interest rate you qualify for. Because First Commerce is a local lender, you’re more than just a number to us. We take into consideration other factors like your personal situation.
