New TowerGroup Survey Commissioned by Fair Isaac to Provide Insight into Decision Management Practices of Major Card Issuers and Consumer Lenders

     Balancing Risk and Growth in the Current Environment Will Top
 Agenda at Fair Isaac's 2008 InterAct Conference, the World's Leading
              Forum on Analytics and Decision Management
MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the leading provider of
analytics and decision management technology, announced today that
leading research and advisory services firm TowerGroup will present
findings of an exclusive decision management survey of major credit
card issuers and consumer lenders at its 2008 North American InterACT
customer conference, to be held April 27-30 in San Francisco.

   The critical importance of effective, connected decision making to
balancing risk and growth is intensified in a turbulent economic and
regulatory environment. This theme will run throughout the forum,
which will bring together business leaders, regulators, and industry
experts from financial services, insurance, retail, and healthcare.

   The TowerGroup survey, commissioned by Fair Isaac, is designed to
assess the decision management capabilities of credit card issuers and
consumer lenders compared to others in the credit industry. It will
provide InterACT delegates with uniquely valuable insight into the
ways top lenders and issuers make complex decisions - about fraud
management, collections, and risk - quickly and effectively.

   "From higher consumer debt burdens to the global liquidity crisis,
the volatility of the economy has brought decision management into
sharp focus," said Mike Campbell, chief operating officer, Fair Isaac
Corporation. "But opportunities exist even in difficult times.
Business leaders who deploy the most advanced decision management
tools and strategies will find themselves at a competitive advantage
in this environment."

   The survey can be taken anytime until April 4, 2008 as part of the
online InterACT registration process at
www.fairisaac.com/interactsurvey. Survey respondents will be eligible
for an additional $100 discount on their conference registration fee.
Ted Iacobuzio, managing director and practice leader for payments at
TowerGroup, will present the survey results as part of his closing
keynote address, "Connected Decision Making in Turbulent Times," on
Wednesday, April 30. Lenders interested in learning more about this
topic also can access an informative white paper and webinar
presentation by Ted Iacobuzio at www.triad-debtmanager.com.

   Now in its 32nd year, InterACT will feature more than 80 sessions,
including case studies, research results, industry panels and strategy
discussions on how to manage rising debt levels, accelerate growth
while managing risk, deal with new sources of competition, turn
regulation from a cost to a competitive advantage, and aggressively
combat new forms of fraud.

   Participants will network with Fair Isaac advisors and industry
peers from more than 30 countries in discussion groups and at other
conference events. The InterACT Product Expo will offer opportunities
to learn about the latest analytic and decision management
technologies and strategies that can help businesses make smarter
decisions across the customer lifecycle.
