Obama Praises FICO® Score Open Access

President Obama signed an Executive Order that intends to improve the security of consumer financial transactions. In related remarks, he recognized the importance of consumers checking their FICO® Scores regularly. Not only can doing so help consumers manage their financial health, it can help people protect themselves from financial crime.
