Metrics Monthly | August 2020 | UK Edition

Welcome

Welcome to the return of Metrics Monthly! Following the COVID-19 lock- down, Metrics Monthly was - like many people across the industry - furloughed for a few months, but is now back with a brand new edition filled with industry news, company highlights and special- ist thinkpieces. After a successful few months of the LendingMetrics team working remote- ly, we are gradually returning to nor- mality with a very limited number of the team returning to the office follow - ing an in-depth risk assessment and employee health evaluation. Luckily, our business continuity plans were well prepared, so LendingMetrics was able to commence remote working earlier than most, meaning staff were able to operate well on our secure network and deliver business as usual to all of our customers during the lockdown period. As well as recognising the successful operation of the company during the past few months, we are celebrating Metrics Monthly turning one year old by looking back at some of our most

insightful headline pieces from the past 12 months. You can read about our top three articles on page 8. A new addition to the team sees our knowledge of the gaming sector expand rapidly, and you can read Gaming Sector Business Development Manager Peter Higgins’ thoughts on the constantly changing online gambling regulations here. With the impact of the pandemic on personal finances appearing evermore severe, we’re looking at how Open Banking may be able to help on page 14. With over 4 million people request- ing emergency payment freezes and 9 million being asked to take temporary leave, Open Banking is more prevalent than ever as it can enable lenders to receive up-to-date information about their customers’ circumstances and, as a result, better assist the financially vulnerable.
