@FICO introduces its latest release of FICO Score 10 in Canada today. FICO® Score 10 promotes continuity, ease of use, and stability for lenders and investors, designed with a scoring scale similar to prior versions.
With FICO® Score 10, a lender could gain as much as 10 percent predictive lift over prior FICO Scores.

These improvements can help lenders safely avoid unexpected credit risk and better control default rates, while making more competitive credit offers to more consumers.
For more than 20 years, the FICO Score has been an integral part of the lending process in Canada by providing trusted credit scoring tools for risk management in partnership with Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada. Built with FICO’s deep analytic expertise, the new FICO Score gives lenders unparalleled predictive power to make more precise lending decisions.
FICO Score 10 promotes continuity, ease of use, and stability for lenders and investors, designed with a scoring scale similar to prior versions. Plus, FICO Score 10 preserves the trusted and proven FICO Score minimum scoring criteria, which enables a consistent and objective measure of an individual’s credit risk.
