About ScoreInfo

ScoreInfo was created by FICO, the company that invented the FICO^® Score, to help consumers understand and benefit from the risk-based pricing and credit score disclosure notices they receive in the mail from U.S. lenders in accordance with federal regulations (Risk-Based Pricing Rule) effective January 1, 2011. Many lenders have chosen to comply with this new regulation by providing all consumers with a notice that contains their credit score and other related information shortly after they apply for credit.

Most lenders today use FICO^® Scores which are widely recognized as the industry standard. As a result, most of the scores that lenders are disclosing to consumers in compliance with the new rules are FICO^® Scores. This website helps consumers understand how FICO^® Scores are calculated and how they can manage their credit and their scores over time.
