FICO Introduces FICO Score 10 in Canada
Newest FICO® Score Outperforms Prior FICO® Scores,

Predictive risk is improved by optimizing the model and incorporating new characteristics based on recent credit risk trends, utilizing an enhanced collections treatment that excludes paid collections debt entirely, and adding a new scorecard that helps increase predictive power across segments. These improvements can help lenders safely avoid unexpected credit risk and better control default rates, while making more competitive credit offers to more consumers.

FICO® Score 10 promotes continuity, ease of use, and stability for lenders and investors, designed with a scoring scale similar to prior versions. Plus, FICO® Score 10 preserves the trusted and proven FICO® Score minimum scoring criteria, which enables a consistent and objective measure of an individual’s credit risk.

The new FICO® Score will be available to lenders through the Canadian credit reporting agencies this Spring.
