The premier gathering for lending innovators.

Connect with 500+ industry leaders across two stages of content. We will be delving into all corners of the ecosystem, including consumer and business lending, growing numbers of alternative lenders, the impact of new technologies (including AI), embedded lending, and much more.

We guarantee you'll leave FTT Lending 3.0 with a host of new connections, perspectives and ideas that'll remind you why you #lovetolend!

Key themes:
• Regulation & duty
Legislation protecting consumers has rocketed up the priority lists of lenders and fintechs alike in the past year, with the key takeaways being transparency, affordability assessment, fair treatment, secure data and alternative lending options. Hear how front line financial institutions are adapting for the good of the consumer.
• SMEs powered by capital
Innovative providers are offering an ever-growing range of credit, loan and working capital options to SMEs. How can the sector collaborate to create more opportunities to provide SMEs with the support they need to thrive and grow.
• Modern borrower behaviour
Borrowing habits change like the seasons, with the continuing cost-of-living crisis tightening the pockets of consumers and businesses alike. What does the modern borrower look like and how are modern lenders stepping up to address their individual needs?
• Lending to live
At the centre of the cost-of-living-crisis lies the consumer, struggling to make ends meet and trying to anchor their finances. How can lenders respond to their evolving needs and also support the underserved in society?
• Nearing net zero
Lenders need to act now to hit fast changing regulatory requirements and government climate targets. They have a pivotal role to play in supporting ESG goals. How are they incentivising customers in the drive to net zero?
• Emerging lending types
New technologies have empowered lenders to diversify and create more suitable and accessible products for borrowers. Hear from those institutions leading the charge for the future of lending.
