Ever wondered how potential lenders perceive your credit score? Equifax Loan Risk Rating has a whole section dedicated to how lenders see your score, including what the delinquency rate associated with your score is and what an average loan rate would be for someone with your score.
Your Loan Risk Rating is personalized to your credit score, so you'll see what's most relevant to you. The information is summarized for you in the “Bottom Line” section, so you'll know what you might expect from lenders based on your score.
