Is VantageScore treated the same as a FICO score?

Profile picture for carbon1973
I received a Vantage Score from Experian which seems to use a different set of criteria as a FICO score. Is Vantage Score used commonly by mortgage lenders? Also what range of Vantage Score would qualify a borrower for the best rates? What would a score of 870 Vantage Score roughly translate in terms of FICO score?

That would be considered excellent credit in mortgage terms.

No mortgage lenders do not use that.

No mortgage lenders use Vantage scores. Your 870 score is good, would guess it would be around 730 Fico but that's just a guess. Lenders use the middle of 3 Fico scores so even if your 870 turned out to be 730, you still need to know the other 2 scores..
