Against the backdrop of a cost of living crisis, individuals and families are facing unprecedented financial challenges. As the strain of rising costs permeates daily life, consumers are increasingly more likely to borrow, seeking solutions through lending avenues such as Embedded Finance (e.g Buy Now Pay Later) and increased reliance on credit. FinTech North will be running a webinar, ‘Borrowers on the Brink’, hosted in partnership with their strategic partners Lenvi.
