Original Note:
Before FICO scores (1989), loans were harder to get due to subjective decisions by lenders, reliance on personal connections, and manual reviews. This led to biases and inconsistent access. FICO standardized credit assessments, improving fairness and efficiency. https://finmasters.com/when-were-credit-scores-invented/
