FinCoNet Report on the Digitalisation of Short-Term, High-Cost Consumer Credit
This report represents the output of a detailed survey of supervisors in 25 jurisdictions on the Digitalisation of Short-term High-cost Consumer Credit, undertaken in March 2017, as well as a review of international literature published on this topic to date. It forms part of FinCoNet’s continuing work on responsible lending and on digitalisation, building on FinCoNet’s previous published reports on those topics. Based on the findings of this Report, FinCoNet has identified a number of topics that are particularly relevant for supervisors to consider in their design of a responsible lending regime in relation to the digitalisation of short-term, high-cost consumer credit.
