MY FICO

Information regarding credit scores and how you can obtain your FICO® credit score and credit report from all 3 national credit bureaus.
Over 75% of credit applications in the U.S. use the FICO® score, and most banks and mortgage lenders look at all three credit bureau scores.
FICO® scores have different names at each of the three credit reporting agencies. All of these scores, however, are developed using the same methods by Fair Isaac and have been rigorously tested to ensure they provide the most accurate picture of credit risk possible using credit report data.
