Equifax (EFX) takes a step up in the mortgage credit score war. As Diane King Hall explains, the company aims to compete against FICO Corp.'s (FICO) moves to cut the mortgage middle man by slashing its own mortgage score prices by 50%.

Equifax is cutting the cost of a typical mortgage credit score by more than half.

Equifax could realize $100 million of profit if mortgage activity remains at 2025 levels, or even up to $200 million if mortgages recover.

Equifax is trying to break mortgage lenders' reliance on FICO scores.

VantageScore® 4.0 mortgage credit scores will be priced by Equifax at $4.50 for two years – more than 50% below FICO – offering mortgage credit score conversion at a lower price point. Free VantageScore 4.0 credit scores will be offered through the end of 2026 to all Equifax mortgage, automotive, card, and consumer finance customers who purchase FICO scores to drive industry adoption.
