The Generation of Online Lenders: Development of the Traditional Market

Topics to be covered include:

• Micro-economic versus macro-economic: How might the election have an effect on lending platforms such as student loans? Overview of the recent election cycle?
• How have the underwriting themes evolved throughout 2019?  Have these weakened or maintained lending volumes?
• Are platforms starting to tighten their credit in anticipation of a recession? How are interest rates and tariffs affecting the market’s economic growth?
• Are we seeing increased investor participation in the whole loan pass-through transactions?
• Are we seeing a bullish tone ahead for the consumer market?
