FAQ

Why is my FICO® Score different than other scores I’ve seen?

There are many different types of credit scores available to consumers and lenders. FICO® Scores are the credit scores used by most lenders, but different lenders may use different versions of FICO® Scores and some lenders (including Regions) may use different versions of FICO® Scores for different credit products, as discussed more fully here.

Additionally, FICO® Scores are based on credit report data from a particular consumer reporting agency, so differences in your credit reports between credit reporting agencies may create differences in your FICO® Scores. The FICO® Score being made available to you through this service is the score provided by TransUnion. Scores provided by Experian and/or Equifax will likely vary due to differences in the customer’s credit reports with those credit reporting agencies. When reviewing a score, take note of the score date, consumer reporting agency that provided the credit report for the score, and score type.

FICO is a registered trademark of Fair Isaac Corporation in the United States and other countries.
