MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

According to the World Economic Forum, the UK digital lending market is strengthened via the financial services sector, which has a gross value of £243.7 billion in 2023. As service providers in the sector increase in number and vary, lenders compete more, a change that typically improves loan products and reduces interest rates. This makes digital lenders compete to innovate, reach customers who have been historically underserved or unbanked, and expand into new markets.

With the full range of financial services on offer, digital lenders may also bundle products like the provision of loans with savings accounts or investment products. Such an approach tends to generate higher levels of satisfaction and loyalty leading to greater uptake of DFS. Furthermore, consumer expectations for service simplicity and accessibility require lenders to ensure that the customer experience is improved by making online applications simple, decisions quick and the experience personalized.

In addition, the market includes partnerships between customary banks and fintechs (i.e. financial technology companies) that offer integrated services to expand customer access to digital lending products and services. Also, growing levels of financial literacy and awareness of the lending landscape have helped to create an environment where online lending products are becoming more acceptable to borrowers. Regulators also appear to be more likely to support fintech ideas and new lending products when there is increased competition.
