2.00 to 2.20: Lending into retirement: catering for evolving customer needs in a changing market
Meeting the financial needs of older people is one of the most significant challenges facing the financial services industry today. And with an ageing population, rising to that challenge is only going to become more crucial in the future.
This session will be an introduction to the sector and its potential challenges. We will look at the client base and its potential vulnerability, the product options, the implications on tax credits and other considerations.
Consumers expect to receive sound advice. The changes we anticipate in product availability and innovation, distribution and the advice framework will bring this sector more into focus for mortgage administrators.
Matt McCullough, national sales manager, Aldermore
3.00 to 3.20: Fight fraud with these five golden rules
Mortgage advisers can be prosecuted for failing to prevent fraud, so they need to take action and ensure that they have robust processes in place.
This session will look at the current picture in mortgage fraud and consider the steps administrators and brokers should take to prevent fraud and protect their business. This could be as simple as making sure you always report suspected fraud or double-checking income figures if they look way off compared to the client’s stated profession.
But you should also look carefully into any businesses you deal with, from conveyancers to introducers. Fighting fraud is not only a compliance issue. It protects your business. Administrators are firmly at the coalface.
Phil Quinn, national account manager, Pepper Money
