"Today I want to offer straightforward credit information and advice for the nation's adult credit consuming population," said David Howe, SubscriberWise founder and America's credit captain. "The topic involves two competing scoring models - FICO and Vantage - that yield relatively similar scores with nearly identical credit ratings. The models are used by the nation's largest banks and lending institutions with Vantage competing to gain market share (https://money.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/articles/2016-02-05/goodbye-fico-hello-vantagescore).



"The primary advice I want to share includes what models consumers should access and when.

"FICO, for the record, remains the dominant scoring model among the world's largest banks and lending institutions," Howe noted. "In fact, SubscriberWise uses FICO Score 9 in its nationally-recognized-award-winning decision management technology and was the world's first business-to-business organization to implement the technology."
