But there's one place they're notable absent: your credit report. Earlier this year, Apple became the first major BNPL provider to start reporting all user account information to a credit reporting agency. Providers including AfterPay, Affirm and Klarna already report some loans to the credit bureaus and experts say more are likely to follow, paving the way for a consumer's BNPL history to factor into their credit history and ultimately their credit score. (One of the main aspects of a credit score comes down to your history of paying bills on time.) When BNPL credit reporting could sting

Average nationwide credit scores bottomed out at 686 during the housing crisis more than a decade ago, when there was a sharp increase in foreclosures. That left many households sitting on a stockpile of cash that enabled some cardholders to keep their credit card balances in check. Generally speaking, the higher your credit score, the better off you are when it comes to getting a loan. Already, the average credit card charges over 20%, a record high, but borrowers with lower credit scores pay even more. "It's difficult in this current economy not to have a good credit score," Kaplan said.

As of April, the average credit card utilization was 34%, up from 31% a year earlier. Your utilization rate, the ratio of debt to total credit, is one of the factors that can influence your score. Credit experts generally advise borrowers to keep revolving debt below 30% of their available credit to limit the effect that high balances can have. The possibility of a recession coupled with rising unemployment could weigh on scores going forward, he added. What is a 'good' credit score?

In fact, residents of Minnesota have the highest average credit score of any state nationwide, followed by New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts, WalletHub found. As of April 2022, the average credit card utilization was just over 31%, up from 29.6% a year earlier. What is a 'good' credit score? Generally speaking, the higher your credit score, the better off you are when it comes to getting a loan. A good score generally is above 670, a very good score is over 740 and anything above 800 is considered exceptional.
