"Go Score" from Merrick Bank site

dodgerslv — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 19:50:59 GMT

Just realized when i logged on to my Merrick Bank online account there is a new "Go Score" as part of their serviced for enrolling in paperless statement. It says its a FICO scoring model call "FICO 8 Bankcard Score" part of TU so am i assuming its based off TU08 similiar to Walmart FICO model?

Yeppers. I saw it on DW's account just now. I never saw that before and wasn't there as of 2-3 weeks ago. Cool find OP. The product description can't be copied and I don't know how to do screenshots on this Macbook, but for sure it is the TU Bankcard 08 version. It also displays your last data from the past few months [of FICO scores] from the monthly softs they do in their ARs. It also has the top two negative scoring reasons.

Cool stuff!

I received an app in the mail today. I think it just may be worth a hard hit for the free TU score. Im going for it.

So its score range may be something like the industry 250-900, while the Walmart TU 08 and the PSECU EX may have the standard design range of 300-850?

Yes, roughly, give or take.

it must be similiar because i compared my Nov. Walmart TU with Go Score TU from Merrick bank and they are not far apart...Nov. Walmart TU 694 , Nov. Go Score Merrick is 705...not much difference.

Yeah I just got the same message ~ their site must be down today, or perhaps they are updating the scores for the month of Jan ?

Merrick seems to have fixed the issue, and they finally have the December scores posted. Mine went up 5 points from 692 to 697.

I just checked and the GO Score has been updated for this month in the past few days.. The score is as of January 18th, and mine went up 3 points to an even 700.
