  Speaker 1: What if FICO eight the FIICO score, as you probably know,

  Speaker 1: plays a crucial role in our financial lives, impacting everything

  Speaker 1: from loan applications to interest rates. PYCO eight is the

  Speaker 1: most widely used version of this scoring model. But what

  Speaker 1: if we looked at it differently? What if we had

  Speaker 1: other scoring models that catered to specific needs or situations.

  Speaker 1: Imagine a world where credit scoring was more nuanced, taking

  Speaker 1: into account your unique financial behaviors and needs. For instance,

  Speaker 1: say you have a fluctuating income. Wouldn't it be amazing
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: if a score could adapt to those changes, helping you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: secure loans even during those lean months. Or what if

  Speaker 1: these models allowed for a clearer view of your credit

  Speaker 1: worthiness by integrating alternative data like utility and rental payments

  Speaker 1: to Picho eight. While it's predominant right now, it's also
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: worth acknowledging that the credit landscape is evolving. Lenders are
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: beginning to look deeper than just the score itself, taking
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: into account a borrower's overall financial behavior. This shift could
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: lead to more inclusive lending practices in the future. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: what if FIICO eight transformed to accommodate these ideas. It
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: could lead to a credit system that doesn't just judge,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: but rather understands and aids individuals in their financial journey.
