Report Highlights
Kent Reliance Building Society' s intergenerational mortgage created a slew of
debate when it was first released. While many lenders have stated that they
are not currently looking to offer such a product, if the product were to
catch on with consumers, Datamonitor believes that more lenders would be
willing to offer it.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce builds up loyalty by tying its mortgage to
the well-known Aeroplan scheme. Expanding the provision of loyalty schemes is
a real possibility for lenders. Indeed, UK lenders have not as yet tied a
mortgage to any large, nationwide loyalty rewards scheme.
Ultimately, innovation is only worthwhile if it adds value to potential
customers. Indeed, a lender' s proposition - albeit innovative - must be
competitive. Lenders should assess whether an innovation is likely to see
demand, that it is easy to understand, and whether it is easy to market and
distribute such a product.
