When it comes to our credit score, Americans are doing better than ever.
Since bottoming out with an average FICO Score of 686 in October 2009 – one year after the stock market crash of 2008 – scores have risen steadily since, including for the past 8 years.
Currently, the average FICO score in the U.S. has reached 704, a new record that will hopefully continue to rise.
New Credit Score Coming in 2019
In the fall of 2018, FICO, Experian, and Finicity announced a new credit score called UltraFICO Score, which is when the consumer – you and me – agrees to contribute information from our checking, savings and money market accounts in order to provide an “enhanced view” of our financial behavior.
