The voice of building societies
Knowledge sharing and educational events for building societies that increase awareness of business issues and provide the tools and skills that industry professionals need to develop their roles. Many of our events are open to other mortgage lenders and product providers.
Regulatory focus is moving increasingly towards ensuring that societies, and their communications teams, are well prepared for a range of potential crisis scenarios. This event will help you plan and prepare your communications responses in a way that will help your society meet regulatory requirements. You will understand best practice, be able to enhance your organisation’s readiness and be better prepared yourself to take action and offer internal counsel.
The BSA and Young Money are working together to provide a white-label financial education service for building societies. Members will be able to use these resources to start, or build on, a financial education programme. Come along to this free event for BSA members to understand how your society can make use of the materials.
This bespoke one-day course, in partnership with the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), is designed to help navigate the ever more complex area of arrears handling. It will give an overview of regulatory requirements as well as a basic understanding of the legal process of repossession. In addition, the regulator expects an arrears handler to be able to identify vulnerable customers, deal with them in an understanding and sensitive way and take into consideration their vulnerability when discussing missed payments on their accounts.
The objective of this course is to introduce participants to treasury management. It provides an overview of treasury operations within financial services, more specifically within building societies and within the regulatory environment. Following this there is an in-depth study of treasury operations, focusing on liquidity, wholesale funding, credit risk and financial risk.
The objective of this course is to provide participants with an overview of the financial and balance sheet risks a building society faces as a consequence of being a mortgage lender and how these risks are managed by the treasury department.
The reputation of your society is one of your major business assets. Particularly in a crisis, the way that you handle the media can make the difference between enhancing your society’s reputation and losing it. In the good times, communicating with the media is still one of the most effective ways of getting your message across to a large audience. This one-day programme will give participants a framework to understand how to navigate the media.
