FICO and Affirm have released findings from a groundbreaking 12-month study analyzing the impact of including 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) loans in FICO® Scores. The research, which examined over 500,000 consumers with Affirm BNPL loans, revealed that FICO's innovative treatment of BNPL data can lead to score improvements for some borrowers while enhancing model performance.

Key findings show that for over 85% of consumers, score impacts were within +/- 10 points. Notably, consumers with five or more Affirm BNPL loans experienced higher scores or no changes. FICO developed a proprietary approach that aggregates multiple BNPL loans when calculating certain variables, effectively capturing predictive signals while potentially increasing scores for some BNPL users.

Based on these results, FICO is developing a solution to implement its proprietary treatment of BNPL data in the credit-scoring marketplace.
