This is a joint event with The Chartered Banker Institute, Manchester Metropolitan University and ICAEW North West.

In times of financial difficulty, there can be an increased temptation for people to borrow money from illegal money lenders.

In this webinar we will look at illegal money lending, the tactics illegal money lenders use, how employers and others can recognise the signs of this activity taking place and provide help. The webinar will also explore what banks are doing to help customers in these circumstances.

Drawing on the expertise of our panellists, this webinar aims to educate and equip attendees with invaluable information in this very challenging area.
