Big Win
Published March 27, 2026

Hello, VantageScorers:

This week, VantageScore hosted a successful inaugural Mortgage Advisory Roundtable (MAR) in the epicenter of the mortgage industry: Dallas, Texas. This event brought together some of the nation’s largest mortgage lenders and RMBS investors, creating a space to exchange insights, address industry challenges, and align on the future of credit scoring in mortgage lending.

The MAR was spearheaded by executive sponsor Susan Fahy, Chief Digital, Data and Technology Officer, and featured presentations from Dr. Rikard Bandebo, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Economist, Dr. Andrada Pacheco, Chief Data Scientist, Jeff Richardson, Chief Marketing Officer, and Tony Hutchinson, Head of Public Affairs. The presenters shared compelling arguments for prioritizing investments in VantageScore implementation, effectively countered our competitor’s misinformation campaign, and made a strong case for VantageScore’s adoption.

This roundtable was incredibly well-attended by industry leaders, including Rocket Mortgage, PennyMac, Navy Federal Credit Union, and more. Amongst the key decision-makers in mortgage, the MAR enables VantageScore to collaborate directly with the companies that use our models and shape the industry’s dialogue around VantageScore.

Special thanks go to Susan for flawlessly launching VantageScore’s first MAR. Additional thanks go to all presenters for dynamic, engaging, and thorough presentations and to Alejandra Londono, NYC Office Manager, for ensuring the event went off without a hitch.
