Fiji launches AI credit pilot using alternative data to speed loan decisions for small businesses.
The Fiji Development Bank launched an AI credit assessment pilot on November 13, 2025, using alternative data like sales records and messaging app activity to speed up loan decisions for existing customers.
The tool, developed with Melbourne-based ThirdRoc and backed by Australia’s Market Development Facility, aims to cut processing times from weeks to days, supporting financial inclusion for small businesses, women, and youth lacking traditional documentation.
While AI provides preliminary assessments, final lending decisions remain with human credit officers.
The 12-month pilot aligns with Fiji’s Digital Strategy 2025–2030 and may expand to new customers afterward.
