What does FICO stand for and why is it important? FICO is an acronym for Fair Isaac & CO. This company developed a mathematical equation to determine who will be credit worthy and who is not. Each credit bureau will issue a FICO score and then based on those three scores the lender will generally pick the middle of the three.
