Cardmembers to See Key Factors that Affected
Their FICO® Score Directly on Discover Account
Center
Discover today announced the full rollout of free FICO® Scores
provided on the monthly statements of millions of Discover
cardmembers, following the pilot launch to Discover it cardmembers,
which occurred in November 2013. The FICO® Scores are based on data
from TransUnion®, a world leader in consumer credit information.
Discover is the first major credit card issuer to provide free
FICO® Scores directly to its cardmembers on their monthly
statements.
“The response from Discover it cardmembers – who already receive
free FICO Scores on their monthly statements – has been
overwhelmingly positive, so we’re thrilled to extend this service
to other Discover cardmembers,” said Julie Loeger, senior vice
president of brand and acquisition at Discover. “Knowing their
score can help our cardmembers achieve their personal goals and
better prepare to reach life’s many major milestones.”
In addition to providing free FICO® Scores to consumer
cardmembers, Discover is providing the two key factors explaining
what information from a person’s TransUnion credit report
influenced his or her particular FICO® Score. Understanding the key
factors that affect a FICO® Score, which can include payment
history, amount owed and length of credit history, can give
consumers a better understanding of how lenders are making credit
decisions about them. Cardmembers can view this information simply
by logging on the Discover Account Center.
“Beyond sharing the FICO Score itself, we’re now taking it one
step further by providing consumers with the specific reasons their
score is what it is,” Loeger continued. “A knowledgeable consumer
is a powerful one, and we’re happy to partner with FICO and
TransUnion to give consumers the information they need to make
smart financial decisions.”
In addition to Discover it cardmembers, qualified cardmembers
who have Discover More, Discover Open Road, Discover Motiva, Miles
by Discover and Escape by Discover cards will receive their free
FICO® Scores based on data from TransUnion directly on their
monthly statements, made available through the mail or on the
secure Account Center on Discover.com.
