andguideline. Based on the data in the database and according to an algorithm developed by the credit bureaus, the level of risk will be defined for each customer. A financial entity (banks, for example) that considers extending credit to a customer will contact one of the credit bureaus to obtain a rating according to which the terms of the loan will be determined. Considering taking out a loan? It may be worth it to check your rating in the three companies and with the better rating contact the financial institution for credit.
