Today on Take Control Tuesday, Mansa Musa breaks down the five tiers of credit scores—from Poor to Excellent—and what they really mean for your financial future.
Each tier isn’t just a number, it’s a tool. Depending on how you use it, it can either work for you or against you. That’s why building your credit score should always be a priority.

| Fair | 580 – 669 | Some access to credit, but still costly |
| Good | 670 – 739 | Average rates and better approval odds |
| Very Good | 740 – 799 | Lower interest rates, more borrowing power |
| Excellent | 800 – 850 | Top-tier benefits, best financial opportunities |
