How FICO Advances Financial Literacy - Jenelle Dito at FICO World 24

As FICO marks 20 years of steadfast commitment to consumer financial inclusion, the company maintains its mission of supporting a symbiotic cycle that empowers consumers to manage credit wisely — which in turn helps lenders and impacts the economy. Jenelle Dito discusses this in her keynote presentation from FICO World 2024.

Groundbreaking programs such as myFICO® and the FICO® Score Open Access program help millions of consumers access their own FICO® Scores. 2024 Decision Award winner, FNBO, shared that since its inception in October 2013, the FICO® Score Open Access program has amassed staggering engagement and showed how informed customers drove results for the organization.

FICO is committed to more than simply making FICO® Scores available, demonstrated by its ongoing work related towards education via programs like FICO® Score Open Access for Credit & Financial Counselors, Score A Better Future® and Score A Better Future® Fundamentals. What FICO does to help people through education initiatives can help address gaps in student and adult financial literacy. FICO provides engaging credit education curriculum that readies high school students to make informed credit decisions that last a lifetime.

In addition, FICO's strategic partnerships as well as its work around the world – from a new project in EMEA to existing programs in APAC and LATAM – underscore how vital financial literacy is to enabling consumers no matter where they live. FICO acknowledges and greatly appreciates the consistent support from its partners to help drive financial literacy forward and boldly urges them to continue as they champion the cause of making the world financially literate, one step at a time.
