Regulators are shifting towards a more tailored, risk-focused oversight model in 2026, while reinforcing foundational safety and soundness expectations. For credit and lending professionals, 2026 comes with heightened scrutiny of underwriting rigor, borrower repayment analysis, monitoring practices, concentration oversight, and the overall quality of credit administration. Join us to examine the challenges facing consumer, CRE, C&I, and agricultural portfolios, including CRE repricing pressures, liquidity and margin erosion in C&I borrowers, and continued stress in farm operations. We will also explore loan review alignment, and practical use cases for AI and digital credit tools that enhance efficiency while staying well within supervisory expectations.
This insightful webinar will present a forward-looking review of the regulatory, economic, and industry forces that will shape credit quality in the year ahead and deliver practical insights and tools to strengthen readiness for a more demanding credit environment.
