new credit

Recently granted loan

New credit refers to borrowing capacity or loan amounts that have recently been extended or are freshly available.

In personal finance, it often appears in discussions of credit scores, where opening new credit accounts can temporarily lower your score: Her new credit cards affected her rating.

Lenders evaluate how much new credit someone has taken on recently as an indicator of financial risk.
