Join this session to discuss key themes in a private forum with 6-10 peers from across the credit industry.
As banks and lenders modernise core, customer, data, finance, and risk platforms, the choice between building in-house or buying third-party solutions has become more complex and more consequential. Cost pressures, regulatory expectations, talent constraints, cyber risk, and the pace of innovation are forcing leaders to rethink long-standing assumptions about control, agility, and resilience.
This Premium Member roundtable brings together senior business leaders to debate how organisations are approaching build-versus-buy decisions across their most critical systems. The discussion will explore where bespoke platforms still create competitive advantage, where vendor ecosystems deliver speed and scalability, and how hybrid models are reshaping operating and governance structures.
Participants will examine the downstream impact of these choices on cost efficiency, regulatory compliance, operational resilience, data strategy, and customer experience particularly in an environment defined by economic uncertainty and rapid technological change.
