Agentic Fluxus · Specialised FRIA for Annex III(5)(b) creditworthiness AI
Credit-Scoring AI FRIA Template
Credit-scoring AI is one of the few use cases that explicitly requires an Article 27 FRIA. This template specialises the generic FRIA structure for the triple-stack regulatory regime (AI Act + GDPR Article 22 + Consumer Credit Directive Article 18) that applies to credit decisions about natural persons.
Section 1 — Credit-scoring AI identification
- Lender + AI provider + AI system name + version.
- Annex III(5)(b) confirmation + decisioning scope (auto-approve / auto-decline / scoring only).
- Product types covered (BNPL / credit cards / mortgages / SME with PG).
- Volume of decisions per year.
Section 2 — Affected natural persons
- Demographic breakdown of applicant base.
- Protected-characteristic groups present in training data + scoring pool.
- Vulnerable applicants (financial difficulty, first-time borrowers).
Section 3 — Fundamental-rights risks specific to credit

- Meaningful human review for declines + edge cases.

- GDPR Article 22(3) safeguards in place.
