In 2026, Chief Risk Officers in the non-bank lending sector are navigating a more complex and dynamic risk landscape shaped by heightened regulatory scrutiny, evolving credit cycles, rapid technology adoption and rising expectations around governance and accountability. Traditional risk frameworks are being tested, prompting senior risk leaders to reassess whether incremental change is sufficient—or whether a more fundamental transformation is required.
This session examines the latest developments in risk management for non-bank lenders, including views on regulatory focus areas, emerging credit and conduct risks, data and AI-driven oversight, and enterprise resilience. It explores the practical levers CROs can use to navigate emerging risks and strengthen risk culture.
