[WATCH THE WEBINAR](https://info.upstart.com/navigating-risk-webinar#webinarvid)

When the pandemic hit, did your bank slow or halt its consumer lending? Did the bank increase credit score minimums or increase pricing to minimize exposure to risk? Was your bank ready for the economic stress?

We invite you to watch this webinar with First National Bank of Omaha's EVP & Chief Risk Officer Nick Baxter and SVP of Innovation & Disruption Marc Butterfield, along with Upstart to learn more about trends, learnings and insights in consumer lending and underwriting models during the pandemic and where to go from here.
