A confidential, self administered assessment for UK credit unions. Evaluate your AI governance position against FCA Consumer Duty, SM&CR accountability, UK GDPR, Equality Act obligations, and outsourcing controls.
Why this matters now (April 2026)
The FCA's Consumer Duty is fully in force for all products and services. The FCA and PRA have confirmed that SM&CR already applies to AI governance. Senior Managers are personally accountable for AI systems in their area of responsibility. The ICO is actively supervising automated decision making. Credit unions using AI in lending, fraud detection, or member services face material regulatory risk without robust governance.
A comprehensive 24 question assessment across six regulatory sections. Generates a detailed board ready results report with section scores, maturity ratings, and recommended actions. Includes a dedicated section on practical vendor assurance for credit unions relying on third party AI tools.
A condensed 10-question specialist assessment targeting the most critical areas of regulatory exposure as at April 2026. Ideal for a quick governance health check or as a starting point before the full scorecard.
Most Common AI Governance Gaps for UK Credit Unions
Automated loan approval modules from third party FinTech providers. Key risks: bias against protected characteristics, lack of explainability, and no human review process for borderline decisions.
AI driven transaction monitoring tools. Key risks: over reliance on vendor assurances, inadequate change management when models are updated, and failure to document the human oversight process.
Automated member service tools. Key risks: crossing the advice and guidance boundary, failure to disclose AI use to members, and inadequate escalation paths when a member's query requires human judgement.
