Lending Summit agenda revealed 

The Lending Summit hosts three conferences – Alternative Finance, Mortgage Lending and Commercial Finance, which collectively have eight years of heritage between them – to offer delegates an unprecedented chance to cover the entire credit lifecycle and cross-pollinate ideas and best practice which is paramount this year more than ever.

The digital experience will explore the impact of Covid-19, payment holidays and forbearance and the changing nature of lending markets.

The soft agenda details a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) panel, where CROs from alternative, mortgage and commercial lending markets will discuss their perspective of this year. The Summit will also include a panel discussing sustainable and responsible lending.

According to the recent round of bank results, payment deferrals across mortgages, cards and personal loans were reaching four million. In this context, the Lending Summit will include two sessions looking at the impact of deferrals and the next steps to be taken once government support schemes end.

Speakers include Hitachi Capital’s head of risk, Geoff Maleham, HSBC’s head of credit risk – unsecured lending, Mike Roberts and the Consumer Finance Association chief executive Jason Wassell. More speakers will also be confirmed in the coming weeks.

The Lending Summit will be supported by market leading technology. An award winning 1-2-1 matchmaking service and networking functionality, plus live Q&A capabilities and digital exhibition booths, provide delegates with a truly interactive experience.
