The Credit Report reflects your credit history over the past three years. It includes your personal information, total credit/service exposure, and monthly payment patterns, as well as any defaults, bounced cheques, or amounts overdue.
The report includes information on your credit card limits and usage, personal loans and credit facilities balances and payment history with telecom operators and water and electricity providers. The report may also include other credit information sourced from additional sources such as courts, governments entities, B2B users, etc.

The Credit Report covers a three-year payment history on each active/closed credit facility and service, as well as the history for any bounced cheques.

You will receive your Credit Report and/or Credit Score within 8 hours on your registered email.
If you were charged but did not receive your credit report or credit score, or if you are facing any payment difficulties, please call our Contact Center on 800-BUREAU (800-287328) and have the relevant information ready in order to register a service request.

While a Credit Score is calculated using an algorithm and considers multiple credit profile aspects, certain behaviors can help improve your Credit Score such as:

  • Making payments on or before the due date.
  • Avoiding bouncing cheques.
  • Reducing the number of credit cards and loans.
  • Reducing outstanding balances and credit card limits utilization.

These are the main factors that contribute to better credit behavior and positively impact your 3-digit credit score. 
The final credit score is calculated using a credit score algorithm. This same algorithm uses many important variables which are modeled using international best practice methodologies, as well as UAE market trends, patterns, and regulations.
