This partnership gives members additional insights into credit data, market trends and risk modeling.

FICO will share expertise through webinars, data briefings, and collaborative forums, covering emerging credit trends, advancements in risk assessment, and borrower behavior insights. These resources will help TMC members strengthen underwriting strategies, manage risk, and improve borrower outcomes.
