financial history
Economic track record
Financial history is the record of a person's or entity's past dealings with money—borrowing, repaying, saving, and spending.
Lenders and landlords examine financial history to assess risk: Her financial history showed consistent on-time payments.
A poor financial history—missed payments, bankruptcies, defaults—can limit access to credit or housing.
The term also names an academic field studying economic systems and monetary events across time.
