Are there really consumer FICO scores and lender FICO scores?

Experian says my FICO is 816.  My lender showed me my credit report that she pulled and Experian says my FICO is 695.  When I asked my lender about this, her reply was that there's a consumer FICO and a lender FICO that is usually much lower.   Last July I noticed the same thing, but I was going off of Credit Karma's score, so I assumed that was where the gap in my score was coming from.  This time, however, I checked my FICO because its a free perk from my credit card company.  It seems like it would be in the best interest for the lender to find a low FICO score to ensure a higher interest rate.  Can anyone offer advice?
