The Credit Report

Posted on 2:19 PM | By Smart Wealth Advisory | In

The information in your credit report has a huge impact on whether or not you qualify for a mortgage loan and what interest rate a lender will offer. Therefore, it’s important your credit report reflects a positive image of the way you manage your money. If you're getting ready to buy a home, checking your credit report is the best way to ensure you get the loan and interest rate you deserve.

You can obtain your credit report from
The Credit Bureau.

Established in 1982 and managed by Bank Negara Malaysia, the Credit Bureau collects credit information on borrowers from financial institutions and furnishes the credit information collected back to these institutions. The information contained in the credit bureau helps financial institutions make informed lending decisions in a more timely manner.

The Credit Bureau will keep factual information about your:

- Personal particulars such as name, identity card number and address

- Credit account details such as type of credit facilities, credit limit, outstanding balance, conduct of account and status of legal action, if any.

Credit information is kept in the Central Credit Reference information System (CCRIS) which is a computerised database system that processes and collates the information into credit reports which can be made available to the public upon request.

About the Credit Report
