Did You Know? 

  • The most widely used credit scores in lending decisions are FICO® Scores, the credit scores created by Fair Isaac Corporation.  In the United States, FICO® Scores are used by 90% of top lenders. FICO® Scores are calculated based only on information in a consumer’s credit report housed and maintained by the credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. 
  • Your FICO® Score today doesn’t have to be your FICO Score in the future. Your future can start with credit education. 
  • FICO® Scores are calculated using different pieces of credit data in your credit report. This data is grouped into five categories: payment history (35%), amounts owed (30%), length of credit history (15%), new credit (10%), and credit mix (10%). 
  • FICO® Scores do not consider your race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, salary, employer, where you live, or any information not found in your credit report or whether or not you are participating in a credit counseling of any kind.
