credit rating
Financial trustworthiness grade
A credit rating is an assessment of how likely a borrower is to repay debts.
For individuals, it's a numerical score based on payment history, outstanding debt, and credit history length: Her credit rating dropped after she missed several payments.
For companies and governments, agencies like Moody's or Standard & Poor's assign letter grades indicating default risk.
A strong credit rating means lower interest rates on loans.
