    FICO® Credit Scores

    A FICO® Score is a proprietary credit score created by the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO). About 90% of top U.S. lenders use it to make lending decisions.

    FICO® Score Ranges:

    • Exceptional: 800–850
    • Very Good: 740–799
    • Good: 670–739
    • Fair: 580–669
    • Poor: 300–579

    FICO categorizes scores as Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Exceptional.

    What is a Credit Score?

    A credit score is a three-digit number (300–850) predicting your creditworthiness. Lenders use it to evaluate risk and determine rates and terms for credit.

    Why it matters: A higher score can help you qualify for loans and lower interest rates. A lower score can lead to higher borrowing costs or application denials.

    FICO® Credit Score Facts

    Key Characteristics:
    • Three-Digit Number: Summarizes your credit risk.
    • Range: 300–850; higher scores = lower risk.
    • Data Source: Uses your credit reports from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.
    • Industry Standard: Lenders rely on FICO for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.

    Note: Credit scores reflect your creditworthiness but do not guarantee approval for any credit product.
