Do you provide a score, contained in a Chex Systems report, in an adverse
action notice for deposit accounts?
I'm working on our deposit audit and am confused by the definition of a
credit score. Section 615 of FCRA refers you to 609 (f)(2)(A) for this
definition:
(A) CREDIT SCORE.--The term "credit score"--
(i) means a numerical value or a categorization derived from a statistical
tool or modeling system used by a person who makes or arranges a loan to
predict the likelihood of certain credit behaviors, including default (and
the numerical value or the categorization derived from such analysis may also
be referred to as a "risk predictor" or "risk score"); and
(ii) does not include--
(I) any mortgage score or rating of an automated underwriting system that
considers one or more factors in addition to credit information, including
the loan to value ratio, the amount of down payment, or the financial assets
of a consumer; or
(II) any other elements of the underwriting process or underwriting
decision.

Normally we do not use credit score when determining rates or approvals. However, we are offering a promotion and want to base the rate on their credit score for this promo only and no other loans. Are there any discriminative factors in doing so as long as we apply the same procedure fairly to each applicant that applies.
