A - It can do. Registering to vote puts you on the electoral roll, which helps banks and other lenders verify your identity.
A higher credit score can make it easier to borrow money or enter into financial agreements such as a mortgage or mobile phone contract, and may mean you get a better repayment rate. This could be particularly useful to younger people who haven't had a chance to build up much of a credit rating yet.
Not being on the electoral register may also slow down the lending process, as you could be asked for more documents to verify your identity.
