Welcome to So Money.

Welcome back to So Money, everyone. Ask Far News Time, T GIF. And today we're doing a little special show. We're dedicating the whole 30 minutes to credit and credit health. I've gotten a lot of questions over the

last nine months. Oh and I've been asking all of you to write in to ask fornush

and submit your questions. Many questions around credit and this year I've actually partnered with Chase

Slate as a financial education partner and through that work I have connected

with FICO which as a lot of you know is the company that develops the FICO credit scores used in over 90% of lending decisions.

And with FICO, we have partnered up on some content and Chase Slate actually has unveiled the

Chase Slate Credit dashboard this year which shows card members their monthly FICO

score, it's free, it comes with a graphical

analysis of a 12-month trend of their FICO score that builds over time and also

gives you all the top positive and negative factors impacting your score.

So it's been exciting to introduce that to customers and FICO's been a great partner.

So today to reply to all of you, to give you the exact answers to all of your questions. I have a scientist with me on the

line. He is Ethan Dorna Helm. He is senior principal scientist at FICO. If there is a go-to person to answer your credit questions, I think I have him.

So Ethan, welcome to the show.
