What does our community think?

"For me, FTT Lending is one of the best, most innovative conferences I've attended around lending and innovation in this space. I'm super excited to be here. I'm learning loads about open banking, I'm understanding about the consumer duty, and I feel like these are really the top hot topics that the industry faces today."

"I just hosted a panel on credit scores which is something that lots of people are very keen on at the moment. You know it's about how the future landscape of credit scores is changing. That was a great panel, but, personally, from a wider eye why I came here perspective, I run a money app for neurodivergent people to help them with all areas of money, and lending is something that we don't really cover within the app. And that's mainly because neurodivergence tends to be quite vulnerable when it comes to finance.

"I love coming to your events. So, I think the most important thing is this is one of the key events of the year for me because you connect with so many industry experts and colleagues from across the industry that you get to talk about what's happening and what's happened. Most importantly, right now is key. I think for us there's so much that's going to happen over the next few years and so much that's happened. I think it's very important for you to keep making sure that you are attending these to keep on top of what's going on."
