The Brutality of Commercial Lending and the Promise of Automation

Presented by Suzanne Konstance, Vice President of Product and Marketing, Wolters Kluwer and David O’Connell, Senior Analyst, Aite Group

Commercial lending is a brutal business.  Despite generating razor-thin margins, it requires perfection in credit judgement, deal structuring, and supporting operational processes. Even after a loan is closed and funded, many other variables must go EXACTLY right, and the more manual they are, the more costs rise. 

In addition, a confluence of new technology, new competition, and uncertain regulations has redefined what it means to be a lender.

But there’s hope. New technology with advanced digitalization and automation can reinvent the commercial lending landscape and remove the obstacles for growth.

This webinar, presented by Wolters Kluwer’s Lien Solutions and Aite Group, will explore the current state of commercial lending, including the threats that make this business so difficult, as well as the opportunities that come to the sector via integration, innovation and automation.
