The association represents more than 40 associate members and over 50 lender members, with a collective loan book exceeding £13bn.

Chief executive officer at the BDLA, Vic Jannels, said: "We’re delighted to welcome kennek as an associate member of the BDLA. Collaboration between lenders and technology providers is becoming increasingly important as the sector continues to grow in scale and complexity.

It’s an opportunity to engage with leading lenders, share insights from our annual white papers and market surveys, and continue helping lenders scale efficiently, improve compliance, and achieve operational excellence.
