‘Logic-defying’ regulation threatens UK small business lending

UK Small Business Lending Under Threat

A new report from Innovate Finance, a fintech body, criticizes the UK's prudential regulation, calling it "logic-defying" and a threat to small business lending.

The report accuses the Prudential Regulation Authority of imposing "excessive" and "uneven" regulatory burdens on challenger banks, favoring large incumbents.

Rules "intentionally favour" large incumbents, says Innovate Finance.

Innovate Finance's report highlights the need for a level playing field in the banking sector.
