The credit score assessed by TransUnion (TU) ranges from 1000 - 4000 in Hong Kong; while its credit rating ranges between A and J, with A being the highest grade. A customer with low credit score may lead to loan rejection or unfavourable terms. For example, the APR for an A-grade customer can be less than 5%, while those with a lower credit score may not be given a loan at all and, if they are, the interest rate and terms may be more stringent.
