Grow your portfolio safely and make better decisions with more accurate risk scores

For over 25 years, FICO^® has been the industry standard in assessing and educating consumer credit risk. FICO scores assist in identifying and separating reliable borrowers from those likely to become delinquent. The mortgage crisis and Great Recession significantly changed the credit profile of many consumers. Fewer credit accounts are being opened and consumers are seeking credit less often. The FICO Score 9 was developed in response to these dramatic changes in the financial landscape.

Leveraging FICO’s state-of-the-art analytic capabilities and predictive technologies and TransUnion’s rich repository of consumer credit information, the FICO Score 9 provides a more accurate assessment of a consumer’s future risk of severe delinquency. Improve the performance of your portfolio by ensuring you’re using the latest and most accurate credit score model.
