What is the "Subprime Tax"?
The "subprime tax" is the extra interest you pay on EVERY loan when your FICO score is below 670. Lenders charge higher rates because they see you as higher risk - even if you've never missed a payment.
A 610 FICO borrower pays 4-7% MORE interest than a 740+ borrower on the same loan. On a $300K mortgage, that's $120,000+ extra over 30 years - enough to buy a house outright in many markets.
21% of Americans have FICO scores below 670, qualifying them for "subprime" rates. That's 60+ million people paying this hidden tax every single day - most without even knowing it.
