Welcome to another compelling issue of Metrics Monthly! With restrictions across Austral- ia putting a lot of things on hold, the finance industry world is still revolving, and this month’s newsletter looks at recent awards, Fintech inquiries and the collapse of rent-to-own retailer BrightHouse. Our ‘in the news’ section looks at the recent inquiry by the Australian Senate Committee into Fintech providers and its recommendations to drive compe - tition in the sector. We’re also show - casing the new Nesta challenge which offers A$4.9m to support solutions that can help people access financial assis - tance or access affordable credit during this difficult time. Our feature piece this month follows on from our May article about how mortgage lenders have been recog - nised extensively for the fantastic work they are doing to process millions of

payment holiday requests. As the 6 month Mortgage Holiday scheme in the UK draws to a close, we ask “what’s next for the mortgage industry? ” and look at the recent FCA guidance which aims to ensure firms provide tailored support to mortgage borrowers who continue to face financial difficulties. Amidst the negativity in the media this month, we have some good news to share, as the results of 19,000 consum- er votes are counted and LendingMet - rics is recognised for our outstanding work with our partners. Our featured thinkpiece this month is by CEO David Wylie, who says the col - lapse of BrightHouse and others, plus an ongoing tidal wave of compensation claims, should act as a wake-up call to the regulator on page 10.

In the news

Australian Fintech inquiry calls for reform The Australian Senate Committee recently launched an inquiry into Fintech providers, and has suggest- ed 32 recommendations that aim to promote competition in the sector. The recommendations have particular focus on regulatory reforms, with key issues identified relating to taxation. The inquiry found evidence that the regulators are not properly organised to drive competition, particularly with the larger banks. The report states: ‘the number of regulators with a role in relation to competition and financial services in Australia mean that it is not straightforward to ensure that com - petition is operating effectively in this sector’. The report claims that this lack of com -

petition is a risk and requires regulators to become involved in order to collec - tively provide greater focus on promot - ing financial competition.
