Martin McCann, co-founder and chief executive officer of Trade Ledger, a global technology provider for the commercial banking and financial services sectors, will talk with Tobias Baer, an independent senior adviser to financial institutions and fintechs and a scholar cooperating with the University of Cambridge.

They will discuss what stops business lenders from making the right decisions, and whether there is bias in bankers’ minds or in the decision algorithms they use.

By the end of the discussion, attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of:

• What types of data are most useful when making lending decisions
• The £5.4 trillion SME lending missed opportunity and how data-driven lending can overcome it
• What algorithmic bias is and how to avoid it
• What the business lender of the future will look like
