Credit risk is the risk of loss due to a debtor's non-payment of a loan or other line of credit (either the principal or interest (coupon) or both).

Faced by lenders to consumers

Main article: Consumer credit risk

Most lenders employ their own models (credit scorecards) to rank potential and existing customers according to risk, and then apply appropriate strategies. With products such as unsecured personal loans or mortgages, lenders charge a higher price for higher risk customers and vice versa. With revolving products such as credit cards and overdrafts, risk is controlled through the setting of credit limits. Some products also require security, most commonly in the form of property.

A. Sure. They're saying that they're gonna be sure that all customers ordering will be checked to make sure their credit is good, so the order will go through. Works for me, but the phrasing is kinda wordy.

A. No. Pull your report and you will see that your checking account does not show up on your report. If you had an hsbc visa (not debit card) and closed that to go with, say, a Capital one Visa, then yes it would hurt. Its the Credit card accounts, loans, etc, that you want open for long-term.
