In some countries a credit score is a mysterious value calculated by a private company based on patterns of consumerism and money usage that greatly affects your life. You must earn the score through engaging with other private companies, to the company's profit. This is why in the US & UK people get credit cards early, to improve their score whilst trying to avoid the debt trap.
In Scandinavian countries there are registries of your income (from the tax authority), your debts (including buy now pay later which are technically flexible loans) and any bad debts you have that have gone to debt collection. No history of previous balances, repayments, how long you've had a credit card, etc... Companies use this to come up with a score, either themselves or a company like Bisnode will do it for them. So basically it's a simpler calculation based mainly on current situation than history.
