AUTOMATION OF LENDING

• Digital disruption is a reality in most markets and lending is no different

• “There is already widespread recognition of the need for more modern, flexible technologies for data management which can help banks develop innovative products and alternative business models more quickly and provide more efficient controls and risk management.”

KPMG, January 2015

REALITY BITES FOR MAJOR UK BANKS

• The big five banks (Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, RBS and Santander) could lose over 10% of their lending market share from 2010 to 2020, if current growth rates of alternative finance continue2

• A third of bank executives believe upgrading and simplifying core technology platforms is the single most important IT investment to improve customer experience1

• McKinsey has estimated that approximately half of the core 700 end-to-end processes in banks can be automated

• Digital banks start with an automated model

WHAT DO LENDERS NEED TO CONSIDER?

Automation• Providing interactive tools for the full loan cycle

including loan repayments / scenarios

Innovation• eg giving the customer a credit line, available online

or via a digital wallet that could include debit card, credit card and loans

Data• Ease of obtaining data vs regulatory requirements

Skills gap• Digital and data-related skills are typically the ones

in demand• This is increasingly a social issue as much as a

business one

www.nostrumgroup.com @nostrumgroup

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS FOR DIGITAL LENDING

Customer-led• Needs to be considered primarily from the

perspective of the customer, not the lender• This is not just about digital products and

services, it relates to the entire customer experience

Technology driven• A digital lender needs to be able to offer an

online interface and interaction that can replace the interaction of a conversation with a person

• The positive legacy of payday– technology and immediacy – is increasingly being demanded and harnessed in other forms of lending

IMPORTANCE OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

• 86% internet users say they give only the minimum amount of personal information required online

• 42% say that they are happy to provide personal information online to companies as long as they get what they want in return

• Providing a seamless online process is key – online lenders should be looking to create an experience that requires minimal customer data

• Consumers still prefer to resolve issues via offline channels

• The challenge for online lenders is to minimise these instances

SOCIAL DATA • Lenders will increasingly use social data to assist their underwriting decisions

• 60% of consumers we surveyed said they would prefer lenders not to do this

• This month the FCA finalised its guidance on social media, following its first period of consultation since 2010

• We expect social data in underwriting and affordability assessment to become a focus of the regulator

THE FUTURE • The next 12 months will be a defining period for online lenders

• Adoption of technology over the entire consumer lifecycle is inevitable

• The digital borrower is set to be the dominant borrower in 2015 and beyond

• Lenders who stay in tune with consumer attitudes and maintain visibility will be well-positioned to be their lender of choice time and again
