Risk Based Lending: Part 1 - The 7 Things You Need To Do

The Councils are teaming up to offer this two-part series.   This first session is not aimed at getting credit unions to do risk-based lending, but rather to help them understand the other six things they need to do.  Mark Lynch brings years of experience working with credit unions and will guide us through a wide range of ideas to think about when building a holistic member-centric risk based lending strategy.

So join us to learn what a good risk based lending program looks like, then stay tuned for Part Two where we will have a panel of credit unions cover best practices, pitfalls, successes and strategies from their own programs.
