Specialist lending has traditionally been difficult to automate because affordability assessment often involves complex income structures, non-linear case journeys, varied documentation, and circumstances that require experienced human interpretation.
 

This session will explore how AI can help lenders interpret information, navigate different assessment pathways, and apply specialist expertise more consistently at scale. It will also examine the commercial case for automation, including the potential to increase capacity, reduce reliance on scarce expertise, and broaden access to specialist lending, while managing the risks and controls that greater automation brings.

Who should attend?

  • Leaders responsible for specialist lending, credit, risk, operations, customer experience, product, and intermediary relationships across building societies.

 Key takeaways:

  • Why specialist lending has historically been difficult to automate, and why it requires the right combination of technology, data, and domain expertise.
  • How AI-powered automation can address the complexity of specialist lending and support more scalable decision-making.
  • The business case for automating specialist lending, including the benefits, risks and key considerations for building societies.
