How Non-Bank Lenders Balance Risk, Growth and Customer Experience at Scale
AML, fraud and onboarding trade-offs, discussed by the operators who actually make the calls. Most non-bank lenders redesign their onboarding process at least once before they hit scale.
The ones who get it right learn to make better trade-offs, between conversion and compliance, between speed and control, between what regulators actually care about and what teams over-engineer.
This session brings together senior leaders from across non-bank lending to talk about how those decisions get made in practice. Not in theory. Not through a product lens. Through the choices that happen under real operational pressure.
What you'll walk away with
Scaling onboarding is one of the hardest operational challenges in non-bank lending - the margin for error shrinks as volumes grow, and what worked at smaller scale often doesn't hold up. This session is a straight operator-to-operator conversation about what actually happens in practice.You'll hear how leading non-bank lenders are navigating:
- Where KYC and fraud controls break at scale - the specific points where manual review queues, identity checks and fraud controls stop keeping up with volume, and what it takes to move from optimising to actually rebuilding.
- How friction decisions get made in practice - where teams have deliberately slowed down the onboarding flow to manage risk, who pushed back, and how the view on acceptable friction changes as volumes grow.
- What actually works in KYC and AML - which controls and checks consistently deliver, where teams tend to over-engineer without reducing real risk, and what experienced operators would tell someone building this out from scratch.
- What needs to change before you scale again - which parts of the onboarding and fraud stack become non-negotiable at scale, what fraud risks tend to catch lenders off guard as they grow, and what panellists would fix today before their volumes doubled.
Who this is for
This session is for leaders at non-bank lenders who are past the startup phase and starting to feel the friction between growth targets and compliance reality.
If you're responsible for risk, compliance, onboarding operations, or product decisions at a non-bank lender and you've ever had to choose between a cleaner customer experience and a tighter control framework, this conversation is for you.
