Credit scores have long been used as a tool for lenders to evaluate the creditworthiness of potential borrowers. In recent times, due to their strong predictive power, they have been used in other domains outside of lending, such as insurance, healthcare, employee recruitment and profit scoring. Research has demonstrated that the rationale behind this predictive power lies within the psychological characteristics of individuals, to the point that we can now say that credit scores bear information on the behaviour of the person. These dispositional antecedents, with the aid of faster and more accurate technologies and wider uses of credit scores, support the existence of a Citizenship Score determined by credit scores, which would be the citizenship scores proxy. Citizenship scores are then discussed in their design and applications, which include the civic duties of any individual in a society, additional positive behaviour in favour of the wellbeing of the society, and the civil rights that belong to every citizen. The Citizenship Score should follow the principle that the civic duties affect the score, and the score affects the civil rights of the citizen, without ever denying such rights to any individual. In con-clusion, macro-level aspects are then discussed, such as the acceptance and the success of the score depending on the type of culture of the nation in which the score is applied.
