The Irish Credit Bureau was established in 1965 and is owned by the banks and financial institutions.
The bureau is an electronic library or database that contains information on the performance of credit agreements between financial institutions (i.e. banks and building societies) and borrowers (i.e. the citizen).
It normally assesses information over a 24 month period.
Your credit rating is used by banks and financial institutions to check your dependability when it comes to loans and mortgages. You can request to see your own credit rating
