Fair Issac Corporation (NYSE:FICO) shares are trading higher on Thursday after the company launched its FICO Mortgage Direct License Program. Under the program tri-merge resellers are able to calculate and distribute FICO Scores directly to customers.
What To Know: The new program is designed to cut costs for the mortgage industry by bypassing credit bureau mark-ups. FICO introduced two pricing options: a performance model that charges $4.95 per score plus a $33 funded loan fee, or a flat $10 per score fee consistent with current rates.
