Why VantageScore?
Predictive Performance
Performance highlights include a 5.7% predictive improvement for newly issued mortgages, 4.5% predictive improvement for newly issued personal installment loans and 3.8% predictive improvement for existing auto loans.
Founded to Innovate
VantageScore was the first credit scoring model to:
- Incorporate rent payment data when present in the consumer credit file
- Provide consumer-friendly explanation of adverse responses to credit inquiries
- Eliminate paid collections and all medical collections
- Provide end users with transparency on the inputs that generate the VantageScore credit score
- Empower consumers to share a more complete view of their financial picture with consumer-permissioned data
- Provide commercially-available credit scores for free to consumers
Commitment to Financial Inclusion
VantageScore in the Mortgage Market
In 2018, Congress enacted the Credit Score Competition Act. This authorized the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to rectify the credit score monopoly in the mortgage market by reviewing and implementing newer, more predictive credit scores for use in mortgages.
As a result, VantageScore 4.0 was mandated for use in mortgages by FHFA starting Q4 2025 for its superior predictive power and inclusion of more consumers. VantageScore estimates the use of VantageScore 4.0 will add up to 2.7 million new mortgages, or $1 trillion, to the mortgage market.
Score More Consumers
VantageScore’s 4.0 model yields an incremental predictive performance life among dormant credit consumers, as well as consumers with limited credit histories. With this technology approximately, 33 million more consumers are able to be scored than previously.
Predictive Lift Across Industries
Our newest model outperforms previous models in every major credit category, with significant overall predictive lift and a 5.3% predictive lift in mortgage origination.
More Consistent Scoring
With our patented uniform model characteristics, VantageScore scores are more consistent among the three three nationwide consumer reporting agencies, so lenders can be more confident in the validity of the scores.
Yearly Performance Assessments
Our analytics team runs yearly performance tests to ensure the VantageScore model continues to deliver highly predictive and consistent credit scores.
Refreshed Data Set
VantageScore models are continually re-developed using refreshed data to reflect the latest credit products and most recent trends in consumer behavior.
Greater Stability
VantageScore utilizes an exceptionally wide breadth of consumer credit data that allows the model to retain its predictive power even during times of economic volatility.
