    Minimum Credit Scores for USDA Loans:

    Typical Minimum Score: USDA loans have no minimum credit score requirements. However, most lenders set their minimum credit score requirements as part of their lender overlays. Most lenders require a 640 credit score. 620 to 640 credit scores are generally required for most lenders to qualify for a USDA loan with approval from an automated underwriting system.

    Lowest Credit Score: Some lenders may consider lower scores with manual underwriting, but it’s more challenging.

    Credit Bureau Used:

    USDA loans typically pull reports from all three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

    Credit Scoring Model:

    FICO Scores (classic models like FICO Score 2, 4, or 5) are commonly used for USDA loan qualification.
