the op says he/she needs a score of 800 to work for the NYSE............at $350K annually. I was wondering if that was ALL you needed to work for NYSE............because there seems to be some other things missing besides the score.............IMHO. After reading most of the op responses it seems a bit shady to say the least.



One thing that I have learned in my life is to never judge a man by his accent or lack of familiarity with a foreign language. Ever hear George Soros speak? I can't vouch for this fellow but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. You don't have to speak perfect English to excel on the Street.

I concur!  I only doubt 800+ scores are required.  Also, look at his age.  How many students have scores above 700?

My young son's GF has scores into the mid 700's through the use of AU and good use of credit in her life.

I don't buy the 800 FICO requirement. Requiring no BKs or even major baddies, I could understand. But having an 800 FICO really doesn't prove money management skills. Beyond 750 or so it's really snob appeal.

Above 760 - AKA FICO High Achiever   Smiley Very Happy

Transunion 754
Equifax    723
Experian 772
 
Experian has finnaly update all my credit card, balance, and available credit , (untlz) I still wait for Equifax and Transunion to update , after update should be close to each other.
 
I have a balance to pay off $2030  after pay off all credit score should go up 10 point with mean I should be close to 782 and very close to 800.. I still have more than 1 year to get those 20 point up everything is possible
 

 in Credit score 101  I found this?

Credit card enhanced (or bank card enhanced scores are specifically indicators of credit worthiness with regard the credit cards only (not mortgage, auto, loans, etc)

Where I can buy this enhanced credit score  for credit card?

You cannot buy credit card enhanced scores.  It is topsecret!

Re: How to increase score

Apply for a WAMU credit card. They give you the Transunion PFICO score which is your bank card enhanced score. Credit card score roughly. Google Washington Mutual and apply for the ESPN card. They have others. You will have no problem. Nice website too.

Are they actually credit card enhanced scores or say a FAKO version of credit card enhanced scores?  I have been told, rather lectured by many people thta these scores are not purchasable.
