Webinar Overview

Legacy infrastructure, paper-based processes, and fragmented systems are increasingly unsustainable for lenders trying to manage risk, deliver customer value, and scale efficiently. This webinar will offer a candid conversation with industry experts about how financial institutions are rethinking their operational models - without compromising on compliance or control.

Led by veteran voices in lending transformation, the session will explore:

• Why legacy systems are creating operational and risk bottlenecks

What Attendees Can Expect to Learn

• How to identify and address critical bottlenecks caused by legacy processes

• Tools and tactics that lenders are using today to become more data-driven and responsive

It's a strategic conversation for credit professionals, COOs, and risk leaders who know the current model isn't built for what's coming next," said John Mizzi, CEO of Vero. "We're excited to join SBS, Baringa, and AFSA to provide tangible insights that lenders can act on immediately."
