Understanding FICO® Scoring

[docfr8]

Is the Equifax credit score the same as the Fico score?

I have noticed when buying my Equifax score through Fico it is always the same as my Equifax score through Score Power

Yes, this is true. Not so for the other two CRAs though.

I can absolutely confirm for you that YES, your Equifax/score power # is your true and correct FICO score  #, as reported by Equifax.

Equifax and MyFico both use FICO scores, However you might sometimes see a few days difference because their products because some don't always update on the same days. Once they update, you should see the same exact scores. Score power does an update the moment you click, where as score watch for both companies can take a few more days to update.
