Access To FICO To Be Granted

Factual Data Corp. and Fair Isaac Corp. announced an agreement to create services for Factual Data customers that provide new access to expert analysis of their applicants' FICO credit risk scores. The companies said that selected Factual Data customers will be offered a score analysis with each FICO score and credit report they receive, appropriate for sharing with the consumer to help him/her better understand the FICO score used in the transaction. Customers also will be able to refer their applicants to a co-branded website where Fair Isaac will offer additional score insights and interactive tools, such as a score simulator for "what if" sessions designed to help applicants better understand how to improve their FICO scores over time.
