Last week our community convened for FTT Lending 3.0, our one-stop-show on the 29th of March where we explored a colourful cross-section of the entire lending ecosystem. Across two powerhouse stages, the sector’s biggest names sat down to discuss the tech, trends and innovations powering the future of lending. Household-names, alternative lenders, fintechs, building societies, credit unions, tech-providers, challenger, community neobanks and more joined in for our first event of 2023!
