1. What is a Credit Score?
Finance Fundamentals by Jacaranda Finance
The first step to improving your credit score is understanding how credit scores work. Our free finance fundamentals course will provide you with the essential information you need to start making a positive impact on your credit score.
What is Finance Fundamentals?
Finance Fundamentals is a series of 7 short video modules – about 30 to 60 seconds long – with an answer to one or two multi-choice questions at the end of each one.
Hopefully, by the end of this course, you’ll have a good idea of why checking your credit score is so important.
What’s it about?
There are seven modules in this course that discuss credit scores, credit reports, loan and credit applications, credit bureaus, and more!
These everyday topics are vitally important if you ever plan on applying for finance. As many as 73% of Australians don’t know their credit score, and 6% don’t even know what one is!
By completing our free course, you can see how your knowledge stacks up against other Aussies on the following topics:
