Your 790 credit score might not be as great as you think it is. It all depends on which credit score you’re looking at. If you’re referring to a FICO score of 790 out of 850, that’s excellent, but 790 is only so-so on the VantageScore 2.0 model, which tops out at 990.

So, you may be wondering, what credit score is considered good? It sounds like an easy question, but it’s not. There is no single answer, not even a definitive range. That’s because you have many different credit scores. Current estimates suggest you have at least 58! Yes, really.
