A credit report is a record of your loans and how well you've paid them back. It includes your contact information, employment history, and any public records. Lenders use your credit report to decide whether to give you credit. The information in your credit report comes from banks. They report your credit information to the Credit Information Corporation (CIC).

Your credit score is a three-digit number that helps banks decide if they will lend you money or give you a credit card. It shows how responsible you are with money. Credit bureaus like CIBI use a few factors to calculate your credit score, including how often you pay your bills on time, how much debt you have, the length of your credit history, and how many different types of credit you have. Different lenders and credit bureaus use different scoring models, so your credit score may vary depending on who you're asking. Note: Credit Score is currently in beta mode. There is a possibility of encountering inaccuracies in your score and credit report. For questions and concerns, feel free to contact us via Facebook Messenger.

The CIC is a government-owned corporation that collects credit information from banks, utility companies, and insurance companies. They make this data accessible to consumers and businesses so they can make informed financial decisions. To date, the CIC has accredited four credit reporting agencies, including CIBI Information, Inc., to access the database and provide credit reports, ratings, and other similar credit information products and services to consumers and businesses. Please visit https://www.creditinfo.gov.ph/ to learn more about the CIC.

CIBI Information, Inc. (CIBI) is one of the major credit reporting agencies in the Philippines. They help financial institutions prevent fraud, assess creditworthiness, and verify customer identity for you through their consumer solutions. As one of the Special Accessing Entities (SAEs), they use consumer data provided by the CIC to generate credit scores and reports. Please visit https://www.cibi.com.ph/ to learn more about CIBI.

Lista is a free money management app that allows users to track their expenses, set budgets, and pay off debt.

CIBI and Lista have partnered up to make it easier for you to get your credit report and score. With just a few taps on the Lista app, you can get your credit information from CIBI, the government-owned and CIC-controlled credit bureau.

You can get your CIBI credit score and report via Lista for only P199.00 per request. Download the Lista app, create an account, and go to Credit Score. Don’t forget to prepare 1 valid ID to verify your identity.

No. Since Lista requires you to undergo a live KYC (Know Your Customer) process (i.e. providing your government-issued ID and live selfie), it is not possible to apply for a credit score and report on behalf of another individual.

To get the most accurate information about your credit profile, use the same ID you used when you applied for credit. The system accepts the following IDs: Most commonly used: TIN, SSS, UMID, and Driver’s License.

Yes, you can still apply for a credit report even if you don't have any existing credit cards or loans - but expect to get a “No Match” or zero score as a result.

Your credit report is a big deal. Banks use it to decide if they'll lend you money, so it's important to check it regularly for errors and signs of identity theft. You can verify its accuracy and protect your financial information by reviewing it.

Unfortunately, Lista does not currently support exporting your credit report in PDF format. However, you can still request a copy of your credit report from CIBI via their website and they will send it to you via email.

As long as the account is still open or not yet closed, banks and lenders are required to submit all borrowers' credit data to the CIC. So, if bad or negative credit information still appears on your report even after it has been cleared with your bank, please file a dispute immediately to update your credit profile.

Banks have to submit updates on their borrowers' credit information to the CIC within 30 days of receiving it from their customers.

Credit bureaus calculate your credit score based on 5 criteria: Payment history: How often you make payments and if you pay on time Amount owed: How much of your credit limit is used Length of credit history: The age of your credit accounts Types of credit: Credit cards, loans, etc. you’ve used New credit: How often you open new accounts and apply for credit

Credit scores generated by CIBI range from 300 to 850. A score of 650 to 749 is good, while a score below that may be considered poor or very bad. But lenders and banks consider other factors too, like your debt, payment history, and income before they approve or reject your credit application.

Here are some quick and easy ways to improve your credit score: Check your credit report regularly for errors. Pay your bills on time. Keep your credit utilization low. Consider requesting a credit limit increase. Keep old accounts open. Be cautious when applying for new credit.

There are 2 possible reasons: You have insufficient credit data for scoring. The credit report does not provide enough information under your name, meaning your credit history is limited or too short for evaluation, which leads to a lack of actual credit performance. CIBI requires at least 24 months’ worth of credit information uploaded to the CIC database to generate your credit score. The latest information on your credit report is outdated. So if you have an active credit or loan account and it is not reflected in your credit report, please file a dispute immediately using the pre-templated email via the Lista app. Once your email is acknowledged, CIBI will process your dispute and investigate the issue. If they need more details about you, they will directly reach out to you to request such information.

If they need more details about you, they will directly reach out to you to request such information.

There are 2 possible reasons: Your ID or information may not match the records uploaded to CIC’s database.

When you file a dispute with Lista, they will forward it to CIBI. CIBI will then facilitate the filing of the dispute to CIC. They will also conduct a preliminary investigation to determine if the dispute is valid. CIC will then investigate the dispute and take appropriate action. This may include merging information from different sources, updating information, or even deleting information. Lista will keep you updated on the status of your dispute and will let you know when it is resolved.

No. If you're requesting an updated credit report because of a dispute that was already resolved, you don't have to pay again. But if you're requesting an updated credit report that was processed more than 30 days ago and there was no dispute, then you'll need to pay again.

Your credit report is a snapshot of your credit profile. It shows lenders how you've managed your credit in the past, and it can affect your ability to get approved for loans and credit cards. The validity of your credit report depends on when it was generated. If you're using it for credit approval, make sure it's up-to-date. The CIC updates your credit information every 30 days, so if you're applying for a new credit account, request a copy of your report at least 30 days before you apply.

The update will be reflected in your credit report within 30 days, or when your bank submits an update on your credit information to the CIC.
