TransUnion Introduces a Powerful New FICO Score for the Canadian Market

FICO Score 10 based on TransUnion data is engineered to outperform prior FICO Scores in Canada

TransUnion Canada announced it has added the newest FICO® Score service in Canada to its product lineup. Leveraging TransUnion’s rich repository of consumer credit information, along with FICO’s 30-years of scoring innovation, FICO® Score 10 is engineered to outperform prior FICO® Scores in Canada.

Building off the innovations and enhancements made in previous releases, FICO® Score 10 was developed to inform an even higher level of consumer credit risk prediction. While FICO® Score 10 reflects important advancements from earlier versions, including characteristics not previously used from the traditional TransUnion credit bureau data, the design remains consistent with a scoring scale similar to prior versions, which allows for ease of adoption.
