Big Banks and indirect lending or Fintech and direct to consumer, is the pie big enough for all? This panel will explore the dynamics between Big Banks and indirect lending versus Fintech innovators embracing direct-to-consumer models. As car buyers increasingly demand faster, more transparent, and personalized financing solutions, are legacy institutions agile enough to compete? Can Fintech disruptors scale sustainably while maintaining competitive offerings? Panelists will debate whether the market is big enough to accommodate these diverse approaches or if the rise of direct sales marks the beginning of the end for traditional intermediaries.
