Overview

Start Extending Your Scorable Universe by Millions of Consumers

Lenders have the opportunity to extend credit to millions of U.S. consumers who otherwise cannot be scored appropriately, either due to insufficient or stale data in traditional credit bureau files. FICO® Score XD — developed in partnership with LexisNexis® Risk Solutions and Equifax® — is a score that leverages alternative data sources to give lenders a second opportunity to assess otherwise unscorable consumers. FICO Score XD is designed with precision and compliance in mind to enable lenders to safely extend credit to a largely unserved market using an accessible and familiar FICO® Score.

Giving lenders the ability to identify credit ready, previously unscorable borrowers.

About FICO® Score XD

 

FICO is a long time analytic leader in incorporating alternative data in credit scoring models to help expand credit access for consumers that don’t receive a FICO Score using traditional credit bureau data alone. As part of our Financial Inclusion Initiative, FICO developed FICO®Score XD using alternative data - data that resides outside of traditional credit files - to address the 25M credit invisible consumers.
