During the same race weekend, FICO will conduct a Score A Better Future (SABF) workshop on Sunday, April 28, where FICO credit experts will delve into the impact of FICO® Scores on lending decisions, the critical components shaping the FICO Score, and provide guidance on enhancing financial literacy.

The FICO Score, utilized by 90% of the top lenders in the U.S., plays a pivotal role in extending credit for various purposes such as personal loans, mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, underscoring the importance of understanding credit matters.
Beyond SABF, FICO offers additional resources to kickstart one’s credit education journey, including my FICO, which enables consumers to monitor their FICO Score for free.
