credit-decision

Vocabulary Word

Definition

A credit decision refers to the conclusion reached by a lender about whether they should provide credit (a loan) to a customer. It’s similar to a teacher deciding whether a student is ready for the next level based on their performance.

Examples in Different Contexts

For mortgage approval, the 'credit-decision' involves assessing an applicant's ability to repay a home loan, considering their credit score, employment history, and property value. A mortgage broker might explain, 'The credit-decision is critical in determining whether an applicant qualifies for a mortgage and under what terms.'
