wow.. This I'm hearing for the first time. The times we live in. Don't think it is likely to happen anytime soon though.

People who don't want to use social networking always seem terribly keen to brag about this on the internet.

Or any of the other "Social Media" sites. Ok, I'm a luddite to some people, but I just don't see the value in any of them.

I have several credit cards with 0 balances, I use them to maintain a credit presence which is obligatory these days, but I pay them off every month. The only money I have borrowed in the last decade is in the form of an offset mortgage which is quite handy.

I should probably develop my LinkedIn page a fair bit more than I have.

Could Your Facebook Friends Affect Your Credit Score?

Lenders could soon be scrutinising our social media pages before deciding to approve loans or credit cards. This means that our creditworthiness could be judged on who we’re friends with on Facebook or who we interact with on Twitter.

Why are they doing this?

The idea behind this form of credit assessment is that those who have a good credit record are more likely to socialise and be friendly with others with equally good credit records.

Assessing a person’s online presence can also help to build an idea of personality type so without even meeting you, a lender could build a picture of who you are and how responsible you may be as a borrower.
