Empowering lenders to open credit access (and opportunity) to approximately 94% of adults in the U.S.
VantageScore 4.0 is the latest tri-bureau credit scoring model from VantageScore. This version has added features that make it possible to score 33 million more U.S. adults than previously possible.
Data scientists at VantageScore use machine learning to look closer into the credit histories of consumers often overlooked by lenders due to a lack of credit history. Machine learning—a type of AI that lets computers learn from data, identify patterns and automatically make decisions—was used to develop VantageScore's model.
The result? Ever-increasing performance of the model and greater ability to score more consumers:
LIFT FOR USERS WITH DORMANT CREDIT HISTORIES
LIFT FOR USERS WITH 'NO TRADES'
It's a catch-22: Conventional models require you to use credit to have credit.
And then your score goes down because you've used too much. VantageScore is the first and only tri-bureau credit-scoring model to incorporate trended credit data to help consumers avoid these traps.
Trended credit data reflects changes in credit behaviors over time, rather than relying (as other models do) on static, individual credit-history records which reflect only one point-in-time.
Our models provide deeper insight into borrowing and payment patterns; delivering a 20% originations' lift, particularly among consumers in Prime and Superprime credit-score bands
