Join this session to discuss key themes in a private forum with 6-10 peers from across the credit industry.

 

As inflationary pressures persist and unemployment begins to rise, UK lenders face a renewed test of credit resilience. With household budgets under strain, banks and lenders must reassess their strategies across affordability, risk forecasting, and customer support, while maintaining commercial performance.

 

This roundtable will explore adapting credit risk strategies in response to the UK’s evolving economic outlook.

We'll examine early warning indicators, the impact on different borrower segments, and how organisations are balancing portfolio protection with customer care.

 

Key topics include:

  • How rising unemployment and inflation are reshaping borrower risk profiles
  • What predictive indicators and data sources are informing agile credit risk decisions
  • Adjusting affordability models in the face of real income decline and cost-of-living pressures
  • How to build resilience into credit portfolios without cutting off access to credit
  • Supporting vulnerable customers and pre-arrears populations with proactive interventions
  • What the latest UK market data is telling us and how leading firms are responding

This is a critical conversation for any lender navigating today’s uncertainty while preparing for what’s next. Join us to share insight, benchmark strategy, and shape the future of credit resilience in the UK.

Join this session to discuss the key themes below in a private forum with 6-10 peers from across the credit industry:

  • How do you measure the output of a diverse workforce
  • How do you get the best out of a diverse workforce
  • Building a business culture which allows for diverse thinking
