 TITLE: Experian Boost Helped Raise American Credit Scores by Over 50 Million Points CONTENT: Does Experian Boost Work?\n-------------------------\nSince its launch, 60% of people who have completed the Experian Boost process have seen their FICO® Score go up, with consumers experiencing a 12-point increase on average. For Experian Boost users who started the process with a FICO® Score of 579 or below (considered \"poor\"), the average increase was even more significant: 87% of that group grew their scores, and had an average increase of 22 points.\nAmong those who saw an increase with Experian Boost, many improved from one scoring range to the next—which could ultimately help them get approved for credit or a loan on better terms.\nOf the consumers who saw a score range improvement, 21% moved from the poor FICO® Score range to the fair FICO® Score range (580-669). Here is a look at users who moved up to a new FICO® Score range:\n*   21% improved from a poor to fair FICO® Score\n*   4% improved from a fair to good FICO® Score (670-739)\n*   3% improved from a good to very good FICO® Score (740-799)\n*   3% improved from a very good to exceptional FICO® Score (800 and above)\nLenders use FICO® Scores to assess borrowers' potential risk in paying back a loan or credit card bill on time. Improved FICO® Scores can mean a better chance of approval or more attractive interest rates and terms. In this way, Experian Boost is helping lenders get a clearer picture of creditworthiness among potential borrowers. END
