FICO Joins Forces With MI New York to Elevate Financial Literacy

By: via Business Wire

Global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE: FICO) announced today that it will be partnering with MI New York, an American professional cricket team that competes in Major League Cricket (MLC). As part of FICO’s partnership, MI New York cricketers will help raise awareness of the importance of financial literacy and credit education among fellow cricketers and cricket fans.

Throughout the season, MI New York cricketers will connect with teammates and fans on social media to share their financial experiences and showcase ways to access valuable credit education content. The content will focus on how people can take control of their financial health by better understanding credit and where they can access the tools and resources to improve their financial literacy.

With 2.5 billion fans worldwide, cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, and has seen significant growth in the United States with the launch of MLC in 2023.

“Cricket fans are unrivaled in terms of passion and loyalty. Through our partnership with FICO, we have an opportunity to educate people to make more confident, informed decisions that support their financial health,” said a MI New York Spokesperson.

The FICO® Score is trusted by the top U.S. lenders to extend credit for personal loans, mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and more, which is why it is vital for people to know their FICO Score and what is impacting it. FICO offers resources to help people kick-start their financial literacy and credit education journey. Through myFICO, FICO’s consumer site, consumers can check and monitor their FICO Score for free, as well as access education materials and tools designed to help people understand their credit reports and FICO Scores.

“Just like cricket, managing your finances takes strategy, discipline, and the right tools,” said Jenelle Dito, vice president of consumer empowerment programs and partnerships at FICO. “By understanding how credit works and its impact on their financial health, fans can set themselves up for stronger financial futures.”
