FICO® Score
FICO® Scores are used by 90% of the top US lending institutions for their risk assessment needs.
More accurately assess consumer credit risk
The FICO® Score is used by lenders to help make accurate, reliable, and fast credit risk decisions across the customer lifecycle. The credit risk score rank-orders consumers by how likely they are to pay their credit obligations as agreed. The most widely used broad-based risk score, the FICO Score plays a critical role in billions of decisions each year.

Get a broad-based view of risk
FICO® Scores provide a consolidated view of how consumers repay credit obligations, including accounts held by other lenders. The scores are empirically built using consumer bureau data from millions of consumers. FICO Scores are updated regularly to reflect changes in consumer behavior and lending practices.

Extend credit with confidence
FICO® Scores are highly predictive measures of applicant and customer risk. Credit grantors can better determine, for example, which consumers to target, how much credit to extend, and whether to raise a credit line.
done
Attain targeted risk control from a multi-scorecard design
A FICO® Score is generated using multiple scorecards, with each scorecard tuned to assess risk for a specific consumer segment — for instance, consumers with serious delinquencies. To streamline model updates, scorecards are aligned to reflect similar risk across FICO scoring systems and releases.
"FICO is seen as an industry leader in model development technology, strategy, in pretty much anything when it comes to data and data mining analytics."
