Oct 6 (Reuters) – Credit-scoring giant Fair Isaac , better known as FICO, said ​on Tuesday it ‌would cut about 15% of its workforce as it simplifies its operating structure ‌and ​integrates AI into ⁠product development.

Fair Isaac ⁠had 3,811 employees at the end of September 2025, meaning the cuts ​could affect about 570 workers. It began ⁠notifying employees ⁠this week.

The company ​did not immediately respond to ​a Reuters request for ‌comment on the number of workers impacted.

FICO said it expects about $27 million ⁠in pre-tax charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, ⁠primarily ‌related to severance. ⁠The plan is ​expected ‌to be largely completed ​by ⁠the third quarter of fiscal 2027.
