Expertise at UWE's High Cost Credit Hackathon

Recently, we shared our expertise at the UWE Bristol Business School hackathon. This event focused on the decline of the high-cost credit market. It raised important questions, such as: where did those borrowers go?

Understanding the High-Cost Credit Market

Participants included experts from the financial services sector, as well as graduates and undergraduates who had studied economics, accountancy, and business studies. This unique mix allowed us to examine the issue from various perspectives.

The Need for Research

Now is an opportune time to conduct research in this area. With Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) products set to be regulated by July 2026, many former high-cost credit customers may find themselves in a difficult position again. Understanding their needs and behaviours will be crucial.

The Role of Hackathons

Hackathons can be a great way to tackle complex problems. They bring together diverse minds to brainstorm solutions. Do you have a problem that a hackathon could help solve?

Our Commitment

We are eager to continue contributing our expertise as this project evolves. Our goal is to help businesses and non-profits gain valuable insights into their customers and markets. By doing so, we can assist them in becoming truly customer-first organizations.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the landscape of credit is changing. As regulations come into play, understanding the implications for borrowers is essential. We are here to help navigate these changes.
