At Fido, we believe in financial empowerment. Your Fido Score is a key factor in determining your access to credit and better financial opportunities. Your Fido Scores ranges between 0 and 800, and the higher your score, the better your chances of unlocking larger credit limits and improved credit terms, such as lower interest rates.
Fido Score Tiers
Your Fido Score falls within one of the following tiers:
| Score | Interpretation |
| 0-250 | Bad |
| 251-500 | Fair |
| 501-660 | Good |
| 661-800 | Excellent |
How Your Fido Score Works
An initial Fido Score which varies per individual, is assigned prior to your first credit approval. This is based on the information you provide at the time of registration. Your score is not static; it improves as you provide additional financial and personal details and as we assess your credit behavior over time. If your Fido Score falls within the Excellent or Good range (501 and above), you are considered a strong, creditworthy customer. This means you are more likely to be approved for Fido's products and services and may qualify for better credit terms, such as higher credit limits and lower interest rates.
What Affects Your Fido Score?
Your Fido Score is influenced by several key factors:
- Payment History: Making your credit repayments on time positively impacts your score.
- Length of Credit History: The longer you’ve successfully used credit, the better it reflects on your Fido Score.
- By providing additional financial and personal information can help strengthen your score.
By managing these factors well, you can boost your Fido Score and unlock bigger credit opportunities.
