What does good look like with the new score?

Edited

We are updating our score bands in line with TransUnion’s update.

We’ll continue to categorise your TransUnion credit score into one of five bands. They will range from ‘Low’ to ‘Excellent’.

Here’s a comparison table of the new and existing score bands

Existing score bands

New score bands

Excellent: 628 – 710

Excellent: 786 – 999

Very good: 604 – 627

Great: 653 – 785

Pretty good: 566 – 603

Good: 563 – 652

Could be better: 551 – 565

Fair: 488 – 562

Needs work: 0 – 550

Low: 0 – 487

 

These bands help give you an idea of how lenders might interpret your credit report when making lending decisions. Whether you’re eligible for credit depends on your circumstances and the lender’s criteria.

You can check which band your new score sits in once it goes live. If your score band changes with this update, that’s just the new scale settling in, not a reflection of anything you’ve done.
