The lender has been in operation since 1865 and manually assesses each case rather than using automated underwriting.
It is the latest mortgage provider to join MCI’s growing panel, following the likes of Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Lloyds Banking Group.
Phil Whitehouse, managing director of MCI Mortgage Club, said:
“Furness is a very well respected name in the industry and we’re delighted to have it on board. Despite being one of the oldest names in the industry, its approach to lending is highly innovative, choosing not to use credit scoring to assess application and therefore giving brokers and consumers greater flexibility. It is a great additional to our panel.”
Steven Bullock, product development manager for Furness Building Society, added:
“We are delighted to become part of the MCI Mortgage Club’s ever growing panel and look forward to working with Phil and the club’s membership to develop our relationship further.”
