Emmaline Aliff of Equifax joins Dr. Amy Crews Cutts, Chief Economist at AC Cutts & Associates, to unpack the real costs and competitive dynamics of mortgage credit reporting. They dig into what the data actually shows about tri-merge pricing, lender negotiation power, fallout loans, and the entry of VantageScore.In this episode:What is the true cost of pulling a credit report for a mortgage?The cost of a mortgage credit report usually falls within a wide range—from around $40 up to about $240 per file, depending on factors like the number of borrowers and the products included (such as trended data or monitoring services). While some lenders cite an average cost around $155, the actual cost is often driven by how many borrowers are on the application, how many times credit is pulled, and which ancillary services are added.Why do lenders say credit reports are “too expensive”?Many lenders feel credit reports are expensive not because of the unit price, but because of fallout—loans that never close. When a lender pulls credit and the borrower doesn't complete the loan, the lender usually eats that cost. Unlike appraisals, credit report fees are often not collected upfront, so unrecovered costs on fallout loans can make credit reporting feel disproportionately expensive.How much does a credit report actually matter in the total cost of a mortgage?In the context of a full mortgage transaction, the credit report fee is typically a small fraction of total closing costs and prepaid expenses. Even if a report costs $60–$150, that's minimal compared to items like taxes, insurance, and appraisal fees. The real financial impact often comes from how credit information influences interest rates and approvals, not just the report fee itself.What is a tri-merge credit report and why does it exist?A tri-merge credit report combines data from the three nationwide credit reporting agencies—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—into one consolidated file. This helps:Reduce blind spots by capturing regional and portfolio differences between bureausGive investors and GSEs (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) a more complete view of borrower riskSupport underwriting models that rely on rich, multi-bureau data rather than a single viewTri-merge helps maintain investor confidence in mortgage-backed securities by reducing data gaps and gaming risk.

Recorded live at MBA Annual 2025, HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins talks with Joel Rickman, SVP of Verification Services/Workforce Solutions at Equifax, and Justin Demola, President of Lenders One, about the ripple effects of FICO's new pricing model, the rise of VantageScore, and how smarter lending data can drive efficiency, affordability, and innovation across the housing market.In this episode:Why is the FICO vs. VantageScore discussion so important right now?The FHFA's move to accept VantageScore opened the door for more competition and potential savings. While some lenders worry about cost increases, experts explain how competition is already driving innovation and pricing transparency—helping lenders better serve homebuyers.How are Equifax and other bureaus responding to these market shifts?Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion have each added new data benefits within existing pricing structures. At Equifax, that includes embedding income and employment data into credit reports to reduce costs and improve decision accuracy. The goal: help lenders make smarter, faster, and fairer lending decisions.What role does Lenders One play in shaping this change?Lenders One represents over 230 independent mortgage bankers, providing cooperative buying power and technology tools. By building its own credit-reporting platform and partnering with bureaus like Equifax, Lenders One helps members gain flexibility, lower costs, and optimize workflows.How can lenders create efficiency in loan manufacturing?The guests stress “buy what you need, when you need it.” That means pulling the right data at the right stage of the loan, automating income verification later in the process, and using analytics to predict fallout rates—reducing unnecessary costs while keeping accuracy high.

At MBA Annual 2025, HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins interviewed Rikard Bandebo, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Economist at VantageScore, about one of the biggest industry shifts in decades: the entrance of VantageScore into the mortgage ecosystem. In this episode:Why is credit score competition important?For decades, the mortgage industry has relied on one scoring model. With the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) expanding options, VantageScore introduces innovation, transparency, and fairness—allowing lenders to assess creditworthiness more accurately and consumers to qualify for mortgages previously out of reach.How will this change expand homeownership?VantageScore's model incorporates up to 24 months of credit history and uses alternative data sources, helping identify five million additional households that could qualify for mortgages. These consumers are often in rural or high-rental communities, meaning the change supports economic growth and financial inclusion in underserved markets.What are the implications for lenders and the market?· Lenders: Gain new tools to expand their customer base without increasing risk.· Consumers: See more consistent and transparent scoring.· Market: Competitive pricing for credit data, increased innovation, and better access to affordable lending.What's next for mortgage credit innovation?Lenders are encouraged to back-test their portfolios, prepare internal systems, and align with new data channels to ensure readiness as the transition accelerates in 2026.

Kathleen Peters brings a background with digital communications companies and tech startups to her role as Experian's chief innovation officer. On this episode, Kathleen shares a bit about Experian's Innovation Lab, outlining some of its projects and explaining how the recent democratization of generative AI tools has made even more innovative thinking possible, both for tech experts and for contributors who have other core competencies. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: As Experian's chief innovation officer, Kathleen Peters explores new ways to solve market challenges in identity, risk, and fraud detection. She and her team define business strategies and investment priorities while incubating new products, analyzing industry trends, and leveraging the latest technologies to bring ideas to life. Peters joined Experian in 2013 to lead business development and global product management for its newest fraud products. She later led its Fraud & Identity business in North America until being named chief innovation officer for decision analytics in 2020. Peters has twice been named a “Top 100 Influencer in Identity” by One World Identity (now Liminal), which annually recognizes influencers and leaders in the identity space. Peters is regularly quoted in prominent media outlets, including Forbes and Bloomberg, and she frequently shares her insights on innovation, AI, and fraud prevention at industry events. Me, Myself, and AI is a podcast produced by MIT Sloan Management Review and hosted by Sam Ransbotham. It is engineered by David Lishansky and produced by Allison Ryder. We encourage you to rate and review our show. Your comments may be used in Me, Myself, and AI materials.
In this episode, Vadim takes a deep dive into the auto finance market—from the recent headlines surrounding Tricolor's bankruptcy to the broader trends shaping credit performance and origination behavior. The conversation begins with Tricolor as a case study in data integrity and verification failures, not credit weakness, before widening to examine insights from the CFPB and Experian's State of the Auto Market Report.Vadim explores how auto originations are skewing toward older, higher-credit borrowers, why subprime lending volumes are declining even as delinquencies rise, and what performance data tells us about the difference between ABS-backed loans and balance sheet portfolios.

Sam Benton, co-founder of Mad Masters, shares a career-shaping error many ambitious marketers will recognise: believing you know it all and avoiding help until reality proves otherwise. He explains why pricing is a feeling, not a number, how KFC's box-meal flop only succeeded after they doubled the price, and the pitch-room mistake where an Experian logo appeared in an Expedia meeting but still led to a client win. Sam explores herd effects, talk-trigger moments like hotel cookies, and the idea of “reverse benchmarking” to turn competitor weaknesses into creative strengths. You'll learn how to build a culture that encourages risk-taking, use the SCARF model to motivate teams, and reframe pricing without relying on discounts. This episode is a reminder that the smartest marketers fail first, learn fast, and stand out by thinking differently. Is your strategy still right for 2026? Book a free 15-min discovery call to get tailored insights to boost your brand's growth.

According to Experian, Black Friday 2025 spending in the US is predicted to reach over $12 billion in online sales alone, and global spending is forecasted to be between $80 and $82 billion. That's a lot of money.

Why am I sharing these stats with you? Because Q4 is a critical sales season for product-based business owners and we want you to be prepared. Jessica Totillo Coster of eCommerce Badassery is back on the podcast today, and we are talking about Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales strategies.

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Fair Isaac Corporation (ticker: FICO), a company whose algorithms are essential to computing credit scores, which are used in everything in the U.S., from applying for a mortgage, credit cards, apartments, to even job applications and more. FICO has incredible market penetration and earnings leverage, as almost all of its price increases trickle down to the bottom line, even though the cost of credit checks is typically a very small portion of the mortgage origination process, for example. In this episode, you'll learn about how FICO came to dominate credit scoring in the U.S., how credit scores have made it possible for millions of people to access financing, why FICO's industry-leading position is so rock-solid, whether FICO can still be a “compunder” going forward, and whether FICO's stock is attractively priced, plus so much more! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00 - Intro 15:35 - How credit scores helped to democratize access to credit 25:47 - What actually goes into a FICO score 29:08 - Why FICO has become the industry standard for credit scores 29:49 - About FICO's relationship with the three major credit bureaus — Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion 30:19 - How the government helped solidify FICO's moat, and whether that's changing 55:12 - What makes FICO one of the most profitable businesses we've ever looked at 01:03:04 - How to think about modeling FICO's intrinsic value 01:11:26 - Whether Shawn and Daniel add FICO to their Intrinsic Value Portfolio *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Learn how the Fed rate cut impacts loans and savings, then find out when to freeze your credit and how to do it fast. What does a Federal Reserve rate cut mean for your wallet? Should you freeze your credit if an internet provider runs a soft pull? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola kick off this episode with senior news writer Anna Helhoski to unpack the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) new federal funds rate target range and how it filters through to credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, and high-yield savings accounts and CDs. They explain why Fed chair Jerome Powell framed this as a “risk-management cut,” what dissent within the committee signals, how a cooling labor market and sticky inflation shape the outlook for additional cuts, and what stock market moves might follow. Plus, what all of that means for your near-term borrowing and saving decisions. Then, NerdWallet's Amanda Barroso joins Sean and Elizabeth for a practical lesson in credit freeze 101. They start with when and why to freeze your credit, with tips on freezing at all three bureaus, using apps for fast thawing, and setting time-boxed thaws before major credit applications. They also discuss soft vs. hard inquiries, fraud alerts vs. credit freezes vs. credit locks, and common pitfalls (forgetting one bureau, thawing too late at the car dealership, weak passwords) to help you understand when to keep your reports “frozen like Elsa,” but still move fast when you need new credit.
