Are Challenger Banks Transforming the Lending Market or Just Providing Digital Makeup?

The short answer is yes…. sometimes to both. However, there is a huge change underway and enough evidence to suggest that customer and competitive pressure alone will drive more change, even without further regulatory updates.

Globally, and in the UK, margins in the lending market are feeling the pressure. Slow credit growth (currently at 2.5% in the UK), and low interest rates are the primary drivers. This has fuelled competition, especially for lending products with higher margins, such as mortgages.
