Title: Lending during COVID: the lenders' perspective
Date: October 8, 2020 - 1pm-2pm Eastern Time
Description:
Following the August webinar where we had the CRO's of the 3 mortgage insurance companies dive into some of the mortgage specific risks, we will now take a broader look at the current risk environment and the implications of COVID on retail lending. Analytics and risk leaders from several of the biggest banks will provide their views on how the retail lending environment is affected by the current economic environment, discussing wide ranging topics from implications on consumer finances, to credit scores. This will be a rare opportunity to hear directly from other lenders about the most pressing issues facing us today.
