Durante mucho tiempo, los puntajes de crédito no han contado toda la historia.

En 2026, eso empieza a cambiar. Las nuevas actualizaciones en los modelos de puntaje de crédito pueden reflejar mejor cómo las personas administran su dinero en la vida real — incluyendo pagos puntuales de renta y servicios públicos — y al mismo tiempo reducir el impacto negativo de cosas como la deuda médica.

Preparamos un artículo breve para ayudar a las personas a entender qué está cambiando y cómo prepararse con confianza.

In 2026, that starts to change.

New credit scoring updates may better reflect how people actually manage money — including on‑time rent and utility payments — while reducing the harm of things like medical debt.

We created a short blog post to help individuals understand what’s changing and how to prepare with confidence.
