How to Read Finicity Consumer Reports
Finicity, a Mastercard company, collects consumer-permissioned data from data providers you select, such as your financial institutions or payroll provider, to generate “Consumer Reports” used by companies you have engaged with to assist them with determining your eligibility for consumer products and services, including credit or housing.
If we have issued a Consumer Report about you, you can access and view it in the Consumer Portal for up to 5 years from the date it was issued.
This “How to Read” information can assist you with understanding the information included in your reports:
What Information is Included in my Consumer Report?
Finicity Consumer Reports will generally include financial information about you collected from the account providers you grant Finicity access to. This information may include your current account balances, financial transactions (debits and credits) for up to 24 months, incidents of non-sufficient funds or overdraft, and payroll information or deposits. Some Consumer Reports will also provide an analysis of that data provided by Finicity, such as income calculations or estimates.
What information is included will depend on the type of Consumer Report Finicity has issued about you.
Report Details
Every Consumer Report issued by Finicity will identify the report type in the top left corner and provide basic identifying information about you and the purpose for its release. This information is commonly referred to as “header information.”
Here you will find your personal information along with when the report was created, who requested the report, the report ID and date range of the report. There may also be other details displayed depending on which type of report was requested.

Payment History Score
The payment history score is calculated with up to 24 months of data. All analysis is based on only the accounts that are permissioned. This score helps predict the likelihood that a negative payment event like an overdraft/NSF, missed recurring payment or an incurred late fee will occur in the future. The score is a two-digit ranking separated into four segments of risk, on a scale of “low” to “high.”
