Vantage Score
Traditional credit scoring models exclude many consumers, often leaving them unable to get credit. For example, other models do not score consumers who are new to the credit market or who use credit infrequently. The VantageScore 3.0 model, which is the most recently introduced model, provides a score to 30–35 million adult consumers who otherwise would be virtually invisible to mainstream lenders. So when lenders use the VantageScore model, they can provide credit to more consumers at the most appropriate terms.
