According to Chase financial "credit" means "financial trustworthiness." Your credit record and corresponding score are the most important factors credit companies and lenders use when determining whether or not to lend you money - for a car or house - or to open an account with them (i.e. checking). A personal credit report is essentially a guidebook that gives lenders all of the information they need about you. It details the financial history of both your open and closed credit accounts.
Many companies and banks offer better terms and lower interest rates to people with good credit. Accounts that you will rarely see on your credit report include bank accounts, utilities, and prepaid accounts. Bank accounts usually appear on your credit report if you overdraft your account and it is subsequently sent to collections. Utilities do check your credit in some cases but rarely report. Building and maintaining a good credit record is critical to financial independence.
