How it's used
Focuses heavily on the reliability and trustworthiness of a person or business entity. It is frequently used in professional or commercial contexts to describe a track record of keeping promises. While it overlaps with 信用, the latter often refers specifically to creditworthiness or the act of trusting someone, whereas 信譽 leans more towards the established reputation earned over time.
Examples
He values integrity in business, so many customers trust him.
This shop has such a bad reputation, are you still going to patronize it?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 信心, which refers to personal confidence or belief in someone. Using 信譽 to describe your own feeling of confidence in a friend would sound unnatural and overly formal.
