Understanding Trust Scores and their impact on your Cloudfloat Credit Limit

What is a Trust Score?

Your Trust Score is a dynamic indicator of how consistently and responsibly you manage your payments with Cloudfloat. It reflects your payment history and helps us profile customers as reliable or higher-risk users.



How does the Trust Score work?

  1. Positive behavior:
    • Paying all your instalments on time boosts your Trust Score.
    • A high Trust Score profiles you as a dependable customer, making you eligible for increased credit limits and smoother approvals in the future.
  2. Negative behavior:
    • Missing instalments or delaying payments negatively affects your Trust Score.
    • A low Trust Score signals higher risk, which may lead to reduced credit limits, stricter payment terms, or even difficulty in gaining future approvals.



How a bad Trust Score affects your Credit Limit

  1. Lower credit limit: Customers with a lower Trust Score may receive reduced credit limits to mitigate potential risks.
  2. Hindered pricing dynamics: A poor Trust Score can impact your pricing mechanism for future requests, making it harder to manage cash flow effectively.
  3. Delayed future approvals: Trust Scores act as a benchmark for future applications. A low score could mean slower approval processes or increased scrutiny during assessments.



Why maintaining a good Trust Score matters

  1. Higher credit limits: A strong Trust Score enables you to unlock higher credit limits, offering greater financial flexibility for your business.
  2. Faster approvals: Profiles with high Trust Scores are prioritised for approvals, ensuring smooth access to funds when you need them.
  3. Better payment terms: A good Trust Score demonstrates reliability, which may lead to more favourable terms.



Key takeaway

Your Trust Score isn’t just a number; it’s a reflection of your payment behavior and reliability. By maintaining a high Trust Score, you not only unlock greater credit limits and smoother approvals but also position your business for long-term growth with Cloudfloat’s flexible financial solutions.

Build trust, grow your business, and let Cloudfloat support you every step of the way!
