FICO Expands Mortgage Direct License Program with Cotality and Ascend Companies
FICO announced that it has added Cotality and Ascend Companies as new participants in its FICO Mortgage Direct License Program, expanding direct delivery of FICO Scores to mortgage lenders. Through these partnerships, tri-merge resellers including Cotality Credco, Advantage Credit, and Partners Credit & Verification Solutions will be able to generate and deliver FICO Scores directly to lenders.
The program is designed to streamline score delivery, introduce more flexible pricing models, and improve transparency and efficiency across the mortgage lending process. FICO said growing interest in the program reflects lenders’ demand for more cost-efficient and competitive solutions while maintaining compliance and decision accuracy. A formal update will be provided once the solution becomes commercially available through participating resellers.
