Hello, VantageScorers:

This week, Team VantageScore was booked and busy across three major industry conferences. From the MISMO Spring Summit in Louisville, Kentucky, to the IMN Residential Mortgage Securitization Forum and Baird Global Consumer, Technology & Services Conference in New York City, VantageScore reinforced its leadership in credit scoring and mortgage innovation.

At the MISMO Spring Summit, Tony Hutchinson, Head of Public Affairs, participated in two important discussions focused on mortgage modernization and implementation readiness as the industry transitions to modernized credit scoring. These discussions emphasized how innovative credit solutions can reduce costs and create a smoother path to homeownership.

Meanwhile, at the IMN Residential Mortgage Securitization Forum, Dr. Rikard Bandebo, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Economist, joined industry experts to discuss evolving risks across the mortgage market and how lenders are adapting their strategies to responsibly expand lending opportunities. At Baird, Silvio Tavares, President and CEO, discussed VantageScore’s continued momentum across consumer and mortgage lending, highlighting the rapidly accelerating adoption of VantageScore 4.0.

Special thanks go to Silvio, Tony, and Rikard for representing VantageScore on some of the industry’s most important stages.
