The conversation focuses on the practical problems and challenges of implementing car subscription models and some of the key aspects to building successful and scalable products. Chris also talks about how he sees subscription evolving over the coming years.
Tomorrow’s Journey is an innovative software company that is helping some of the world’s biggest automotive brands to launch scalable smart mobility business models quickly and cost effectively.
The latest Asset Finance Connect webcast features a follow-up interview with Richard Jones, MD of Motor Finance & Leasing, Lloyds Banking Group on rate-for-risk, a pricing model which they have used in the past, and are currently re-evaluating in a series of pilots with auto dealers in the UK.
“Rate for risk could have a bigger role in the [auto finance] market.” Jones told David Betteley, Asset Finance Connect’s auto finance community leader “But it changes the model. You’ve got to give the driver a sense of their credit-worthiness right at the start of the journey… If you’re a retailer it changes the way you advertise vehicles, and it changes the way you market.”

In a one hour webcast David Betteley will be interviewing an expert panel to discuss the implications for brokers and their funders as they consider whether or not to change long established business practice.
All delegate questions will be answered by our panel – either during or after this event.
