What's an Excellent Credit Score....and What isn't

A score of 850 is as high as you can get, with scores ranging from zero to 850.

Here’s the breakdown:

· Excellent credit is 750+

· Good: 700-749

· Fair: 650-699

· Poor: 550-649

Those are the general breakdowns.  Some lenders may have different criteria. But essentially if you want to have excellent credit, you’ll need a FICO credit score of 750-plus.
