Vantage score is petty commonly used by lenders and credit card companies nowadays.

Source? Every application I've made has been FICO. I have literally never heard of anyone using VantageScore for lending decisions. I'm sure someone does, I just have actually seen an example.

In the US, this is untrue. CC companies do provide vantage scores on your statements though because it's cheap to do so. But in terms of credit decisions, FICO is used the majority of the time (there may be a handful of lenders that use vantage scores in credit decisions. MyFico forums would have this information).

Majority yes use FICO, but a large number of lenders use Vantage, especially in near prime lending, though not for everything.

Capone, Chase, Upstart all use it to an extent for example.
