How to determine joint credit score?
Both of your individual credit scores are used in underwriting for a loan if you apply jointly.
Thus, whatever your scores are...that%26#039;s what is used by the lender. They don%26#039;t %26quot;join%26quot; your credit scores. Essentially, the lower credit score is used to help determine the creditworthiness of the applicants.
How to determine joint credit score?
The bank is going to pull a Tri-Merge report for the both of you. They are going to use both of your middle scores and take the lowest of those two.
Example:
Him. Exuifax - 657 Experian - 702 TransUnion - 691
His Middle Score is - 691
Her Exuifax 692 Experian - 690 TransUnion -700
Her Middle Score is - 692
His 691 is the lower score so that is what the lenders will use as a qualifier (There are exceptions)
Hope this helped.
