Lenders Leading Financial Inclusion

O desafio

Nearly 53 million US consumers have little to no credit bureau data or no credit bureau data at all and 25 million of these are considered "credit invisible" with no credit bureau record. Moreover, 80 million consumers have limited or blemished history in their credit reports.

Mission-driven institutions that serve these populations often experience challenges in resources including access, capacity, and technical support to adopt new technologies.

Por que a FICO?

At FICO, we believe the path to empowering people and economies is through a focus on financial literacy and investment in innovation that responsibly broadens access to credit.
