FICO® Scores: What You Need to Know

What's in my FICO® Score?

35% payment history, 30% amount you owe, 15% length of credit history, 10% new credit opened, 10% credit mix.

FICO® Scores are calculated using many different pieces of credit data in your credit report. This data is grouped into five categories: payment history (35%), amounts owed (30%), length of credit history (15%), new credit (10%) and credit mix (10%).

Your FICO® Scores consider both positive and negative information in your credit report. The percentages in the chart reflect how important each of the categories is in determining how your FICO® Scores are calculated.


What Your Score Means to Lenders

Poor well below average, Fair below average, Good near average, Very Good above average, Exceptional well above average.

FAQs

We think it’s important to provide our cardmembers with access to information that will help them understand and stay on top of their credit status. That’s why we’re providing you with your FICO® Score and information to help you understand it.
We partner with FICO and Equifax, one of the major credit reporting agencies, to provide you with your FICO® Score.
FICO® Scores are updated monthly on your Citi account. Updated information is available at citi.com/creditscore or by calling customer service to request it in writing. Updated scores are typically available mid-month.
There are various score models available in the marketplace. The FICO® Score we deliver is based on data from Equifax using the FICO® Bankcard Score 8 model. This model has a FICO® Score range of 250-900.
The FICO® Score Citi provides is based on information from your Equifax credit report based on the “as of” date included with your score. This may differ from scores you obtain elsewhere that may have been calculated at a different time using information from a different credit bureau or even a different score model. Please visit www.ficoscore.com/crediteducation for more information on FICO® Scores.
Your FICO® Score and Key Factors were provided to Citi as they correspond to information within your Equifax credit report based on the calculation date (i.e., “as of” date). If you feel this information is inaccurate, you can request a free annual credit report from Equifax at www.annualcreditreport.com. If you have additional questions after reviewing, please contact Equifax at the number provided within your credit report. You’ll be able to speak with a representative for additional help. Be sure to have the Reference Number included with your credit report when speaking with Equifax.
Your score may not be available if:

  • You’re an authorized user on someone else’s account
  • You have a joint account
  • The billing statement is not in your name
  • You recently opened a new account
  • Your card currently does not offer this benefit
  • Your credit card account is no longer open

FICO® Scores are just one component Citi may use for lending and credit decisions.
Score assessments from Citi are considered a soft inquiry to the credit bureau and have no impact on your overall credit score.
View your FICO® Score directly on your Citi® Online dashboard or on the Citi Mobile® App from the My Citi tab.
