What is a Credit Score?

A credit score is a number calculated by SIMAH, Saudi Arabia’s credit bureau. It reflects your past borrowing and payment behavior and influences your chances of being approved for financing, including how much you can borrow.

How Sakhi Uses Your Credit Score

With your permission, we securely access your SIMAH record to evaluate your eligibility and offer financing that matches your financial situation—fairly, responsibly, and transparently.

Your score calculation

Payment history

Your record of paying installments and bills on time plays a major role in determining your credit score.

Credit utilization

This reflects how much of your available credit you are currently using compared to your total limit.

Number of active loans and cards

Having multiple active credit accounts can affect your score, especially if they are heavily used.

Length of credit history

A longer, well-managed credit history helps demonstrate financial stability.

New credit inquiries

Frequent applications for new credit in a short period may temporarily lower your score.
