COSTA MESA, Calif.—Experian now offers its members FICO scores through its direct-to-consumer products.
“Our members asked for the credit score they recognize as being most relevant,” said Guy Abramo, president of Experian consumer services. “FICO scores are used by lenders more than any other credit score, and we now offer them to our members as a complement to the Experian credit reports and other credit resources that are part of our consumer products.”
On top of the FICO addition, Experian said it will include scoring information that explains the top factors that affect an individual’s FICO score, a credit timeline that displays a record of alerts sent when something happens to change a credit score, and provide mobile access FICO scores.
“This is a big win for the consumer,” said Jim Wehmann, executive vice president, scores for FICO. “The combination of FICO scores and Experian’s consumer products gives a significant benefit to anyone looking to better understand their credit and its impact on their financial goals.”
