UK Finance Later Life Lending Conference

Later Life Lending is a significant growth opportunity for the market, given the ageing population. Customers are borrowing later and longer, which will impact on their financial decisions both into and in retirement. This conference aims to bring together industry experts, policy makers, proposition developers and lenders to hear about the latest data and research, best practice in support of good customer outcomes and how UK Finance as a trade body is working with members to support more joined-up advice.

Donna Bathgate COO of The Equity Release Council will be taking part in the afternoon debate ‘How Much Advice: Necessity vs. Nice to Have’, which is due to take place from 14.35 – 15.35

The conference will provide an overview of the regulatory and guidance landscape

  • Regulation and vulnerable customers: Are all older people vulnerable customers? Hear from the Money and Pensions Service about what needs to be considered to best support customers as they age.
  • Who are the customers and how are they changing? Latest data and research from UK Finance and other lenders including latest trends, how are attitudes changing and the broader economic context (pensions and ageing population).
  • Holistic advice, the tough nut to crack. We will deep dive into what we and others doing to support more joined-up advice to reflect the range of lending options.
