What Is a Credit Score and How Does It Affect My Loan Access?

Your Credit Score is a measure of your overall creditworthiness and repayment behavior. On Breeze, the score helps determine the amount of credit you can access and may influence eligibility for products such as Salary Advance, Flexi, and Maxi loans. The score is sourced from credit bureau data and repayment activity.

What we know from real tickets

Real tickets show that employees are often unsure why their available loan amount changes over time. In most cases, changes are linked to credit score movements, repayment history, salary information, and overall risk assessment.

How credit score works on Breeze

Your credit score is obtained from the Credit Bureau and combines both in-app and external repayment behavior. The score influences how much credit an employee can access. The system may consider factors such as:

• Repayment history
• Outstanding debt obligations
• Credit bureau records
• Existing Breeze loan performance
• Affordability assessments
• Salary-linked eligibility metrics

How to check your credit score

1. Open the Breeze app.
2. Navigate to Benefits.
3. Locate the Credit Score widget on your dashboard.
4. Select the score to view additional details if available.

How credit score affects loan access

Credit Score Impact	What it means
Higher score	May increase access to eligible credit products and available limits.
Lower score	May reduce available loan amounts or affect eligibility.
Poor repayment history	Can negatively affect future access to credit.
Consistent on-time repayments	Can help maintain or improve your credit profile over time.

Your credit score is one of several factors used when determining access to benefits and loans. It is not always the only reason a loan application is approved or declined. Other eligibility requirements may also apply. How to improve your credit score

1. Repay loans on or before the due date.
2. Avoid accumulating excessive debt across multiple lenders.
3. Keep your repayment record consistent.
4. Ensure your salary continues to be disbursed regularly through your employer.
5. Maintain an active and accurate Breeze profile.
