Описание: In a rapidly changing market, "lagging indicators" like 30-day delinquencies are no longer enough to protect a portfolio. The real competitive advantage in 2026 lies in early signals.

In this insightful mini-keynote from the 2026 Automotive Finance Canada Summit, Sarah Petryna, Sr. Director of Product at Dealertrack, reveals how industry-wide risk data and emerging dealer behavior patterns are reshaping lender outcomes. Drawing on real-world data from Canada's largest financing network, Sarah explores how "connected monitoring" allows lenders to anticipate risk sooner and make more confident decisions.
