How does credit work?

Every time you apply for a loan, lenders check your credit profile
to see if you have a good credit history.

If you pay your loans back on time it affects your credit profile positively.

If you pay late or miss payments it affects your credit profile negatively.

What is a credit report?

A credit report is a description of your credit history and payment behaviour that is maintained by credit bureaus, including TransUnion.

It contains details about how you manage credit, including your credit card, car loan, cell phone account etc.

It further contains information such as your name, address, employer name and ID number—the details you give to lenders when completing a credit application form.

You may obtain your free credit report by visiting our office from Monday to Friday, between 08:30 and 14:30, or by emailing SA_Namibia-FreeReport@transunion.com
