The partnership with Xactus, a leading mortgage verification company, provides a strong distribution channel and integration capabilities.

New analytic tool simulates changes to the FICO Score with personalized credit improvement strategies
The innovative new tool simulates the potential impacts to a consumer’s FICO® Score with various simulated changes to their credit report data, such as reducing credit card balances or deleting a collection account. With that valuable insight, mortgage professionals, such as brokers and lenders, can help potential borrowers gauge how the changes could affect their FICO Scores and show them how different credit decisions could open up more loan options and favorable interest rates.
The FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator is the only score simulator for mortgage professionals that uses FICO Scores and the actual FICO Score algorithms. Lenders using this tool will be able to run credit event scenarios from an applicant’s credit report data, such as paying off a car loan, and determine the potential impact to that individual’s actual FICO Score. The simulation will also allow the mortgage professionals to see how different credit strategies may influence potential changes to the applicant’s FICO Score.
“FICO is continuously working on innovative product offerings that can responsibly expand credit access to more people,” said Geoff Smith, vice president and general manager, Consumer Scores at FICO. “Even a few additional points in a potential borrower’s FICO Score can have a material impact on the mortgage loan terms offered. Ultimately, the FICO Score Mortgage Simulator will prove to be a powerful tool that can enable more people to achieve the dream of homeownership.”
The FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator provides:
- Dynamic Credit Scenario Planning: Easily simulate credit scenarios to project potential FICO® Score changes, and impact on loan eligibility.
- Enhanced Consumer Experience: Lenders can provide actionable recommendations that empower people to make better-informed financial decisions that may have a material impact on their FICO® Scores.
- Better Borrower Outcomes: Use of the FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator can help provide eligible borrowers with access to better interest rates and help previously ineligible borrowers qualify for a mortgage.
