You are invited!

We are very excited to invite you to this year’s digital edition of our annual event: Innovation Summit! This year’s digital conference will take place on November 26th. Innovation Summit is an opportunity for senior executives, managers and teams working across industries to come together and discuss the latest credit-related trends that are prevailing in the Nordics and Netherlands, key challenges and solutions across the customer lifecycle.

Leveraging the latest in digital conference technology, this year’s Innovation Summit brings industry experts to you – whether you are at home on your couch or in the office. Our live streamed and engaging format gives you a tangible conference experience from the safety of your location.

Crisis, what crisis?

In light of the economic disruptions the COVID-19 crisis has brought about, our theme for the event is navigating through uncertainty. Yes, we talk about this pandemic as a crisis, and in many ways it is. But how much is the credit economy and business landscape actually affected by the crisis, and is the crisis actually as big as it seems in the media and in our society?

We will let the data do the talking, and show you what opportunities we see evolve when it comes to innovation and utilization of data.

We bring you the experts and insight

Our experts will provide insights into how business and consumer behavior has changed over the last year, including practical examples of how to use data and technology as a driving force for growth and innovation during the new normal.

We are very excited to host our first Digital Innovation Summit, and we hope to see you on November 26th.

Experian’s perspective on the credit industry: Insights from Nordics and Netherlands

In this session, Jakob and Herman will take you through the macroeconomic outlook of the Nordic and Netherland credit industry. They will share key insights on how the industry has evolved during Covid and what changes you can expect in 2021.

Herman is for many years a professional in credit risk management. Self-starter, entrepreneur, pragmatic, realistic, and goal oriented.

Credit risk management is in his vision an important element in all part of the credit cycle of a customer. It starts in originations; it continues in customer management and might end in collections management. Advanced use of data in combination with analytics, timely decisioning and effective workflow management support is key.

This in combination with 360 degree customer insight makes that credit risk management adds huge value to any type of business.

He often makes the comparison of working in a team and playing a bass guitar in a band: a solid and important base in a team, attributing to a target with a creative and dynamic approach. His experience in risk, fraud and collections management is the asset that he wants to present to the world to make sure everyone (partners, colleagues and consumers) benefits from it.

The Impact of Covid-19 on Payment Behavior

The Nordic economies have been severely affected by the on-going pandemic, although better compared to most other regions. A broadly based welfare system, a large public sector and strong public finance are common features of the Nordic economies. However, payment problems will most likely increase going forward. So how is the pandemic affecting payments? Intrum has asked almost 5.000 households and 10.000 businesses across Europe on payments and other financial challenges during the pandemic.
