Pepper Advantage sees highest stress levels since the Financial Crisis

We track a variety of data points to analyse borrower stress across our portfolio with the goal of managing risks before they emerge. This month, our report offers unique insights into stressed subsets of the UK market over a 12-month period as we explore where financial pressures are most intense and track early indicators, such as Direct Debit Rejections (DDRs) and arrears and the nuances across different products, age demographics and geographic locations.

We work with the most trusted brands

Pepper Advantage UK clients include heavyweight incumbents and fintech disruptors, such as Metro Bank, Starling Bank, Lendinvest and NatWest Group, among many others. And we’re clearly doing something right – 2021 saw Pepper Advantage UK scoop up the prestigious Mortgage Finance Gazette Award for Best Loan Servicer. Other wins include the 2020 ABP Work Experience Award and the Financial Services Forum Award for Customer Service in 2019.

Our corporate responsibility

We also take corporate responsibility very seriously. That includes working to create a healthier company that focuses on diversity and inclusion, helping under-represented communities through financial support, and protecting our customers’ information against scammers and cyber-attacks. We’re particularly proud that our executive leadership team is 60% female, and that we have a board member dedicated to diversity and inclusion.

Improving the consumer experience

Pepper Advantage UK is in the business of finding ways to help people live fulfilling financial lives, whatever their particular journey. Our data and analytics systems enable us to predict trends and outcomes, which means our clients can make the right decisions for their customers – all while accelerating business growth.

By using the global Pepper Advantage group’s data-led Intelligence Platform, Pepper Advantage UK is able to make accurate forecasts, calculate consumer behaviour, and present the best solutions for clients.

Data-driven intelligence

Robust data, which we collect from throughout our global network before converting it into usable intelligence, sets us apart from our competitors and gives our clients the edge. It also enables us to think outside the box and come up with bespoke solutions to fit individuals – instead of bringing a one-size-fits-all resolution to the table.

A key part of Pepper Advantage UK’s approach is to fully adapt to partner clients’ brands, reflecting the inhouse tone of voice and reaching appropriate solutions for customers.

Looking to the future

With lenders and borrowers facing a less predictable market and ever-growing regulatory needs, now more than ever Pepper Advantage UK’s data-and-analytics-led approach can mean the difference between success and failure.

What is consumer duty?

September 6, 2023

Many have asked this question in the UK as the FCA’s new Consumer Duty rules have come into effect. While these rules don’t define consumer duty per se, they do require financial services firms to put consumer duty into practice by acting to “deliver good outcomes for retail customers.”
