Your credit score is an indication of credit risk and is calculated using various factors. Factors include the following:
Credit history is a record of a consumer's ability to repay debts, or in other words, the average length of all open credit accounts.
Utilization is the ratio of your credit card balances to your credit card limits. Basically, how much credit you spend vs. how much credit is available to you. Credit Viz asks for your average utilization in the last 6-12 months.
Existing relationships refer to a consumer's current business relationship with a bank or financial institution. A relationship could mean having a bank account, having an outstanding loan, or using a firms financial or investment products.
