U.S. Structured Finance Newsletter: New FICO Score May Increase Perspective on Subprime Consumer Creditworthiness

FICO recently announced that it would be supplementing its primary credit scoring product (the FICO Score) with a new product called UltraFICO Score starting as a pilot program in early 2019. The objective of the new offering is to give borderline (prime/subprime) credit-worthy applicants a “second look” based on their banking behaviors. The new score incorporates a third-party data evaluation of a borrower’s checking, savings or money market accounts.
