FiZ Score: Which Credit Card Is Hurting You Most
FiZ Score (Finance impact Zone) is a per-card severity score developed by Bubbleverse. It measures how much each credit card is quietly costing you by combining APR pressure, credit utilization, and how much of your payment goes to interest. The card with the highest FiZ Score is the one to pay off first.
What FiZ Looks At
- How your payment compares to interest — if most is eaten by interest, you're barely moving
- How much of your credit limit you're using — high utilization means less room to breathe
- How expensive the debt is — 42%+ APR means the clock is always running against you
Score Ranges
- 0–20: Healthy — payment meaningfully outpaces interest
- 21–40: Manageable — interest taking a meaningful share
- 41–60: Warning — significant portion lost to interest
- 61–80: Deep Trap — most payments feed interest
- 81–100: Critical — debt growing or barely shrinking
