Experian: Credit Score

Experian Limited

About this app

The UK's most trusted credit score* is available for free. Get free access to a wide range of our services, from credit score checks, credit card comparison & eligibility and personal loan comparison & eligibility.

Your Experian Credit Score is a straightforward way of showing how lenders may view your application. As part of a credit check, companies may look at whether you’ve paid back your credit on time, how much credit you currently have and how you’re managing it. The better your credit score the better your chances are of getting a credit card, loan or even a mortgage, along with great rates for each.

Compare credit cards and loans with us. Let Experian help by showing you the credit cards and personal loans you’re most likely to be accepted for, helping you save hassle and avoid too many unsuccessful applications impacting your credit rating.

Ratings and reviews

Downgraded from 2 to 1 star. Crashing, loading errors, losing loading data, rechecking identify, in many cases software has to be uninstall and reinstall again, all ongoing issues for few years now. Update after half a year - nothing changed, still very, very poor software. The same issues. Advice? Hire competent programmers!

garbage app, and pointless to install. almost everything in the app you click on opens a web page in your browser. I've also signed in once, set a PIN and biometrics. Only to change my address (via a sodding web page), to then have to set the PIN and biometrics up again. So twice in 30 minutes, as I said, pointless garbage app. God knows what data they got hold of once the app installed, hope they choke on it.

Very basic, which is surprising considering they're a major player in the industry. £15 a month to look at your own data is criminal IMO. I'd be happy to pay for the service, but not this much. £5 a month seems reasonable for the amount of time and value I could get from it. I currently use several apps and the rest are all free of charge and provides much more information than I currently get from Experian.
