FICO

« Back to Glossary Index

FICO is to credit score as Kleenex is to tissue or Xerox is to photocopy. Fair, Isaac and Company was founded by an engineer (Bill Fair) and mathematician (Earl Isaac) in 1956. What do you get when you cross an engineer with a mathematician? Turns out, you get credit scoring.
