"We’re able to offer digital tools to our advisers and launch a consumer-facing online mortgage proposition to further enhance the choice we give our customers."
Mojo Mortgages, which is set to launch in early 2018, will extend Countrywide’s mortgage channels to include online offerings as well as face-to-face and telephony channels.
Blenheim Chalcot has built more than 40 digital businesses, including fintech enterprises such as free credit report business Clearscore, and creditor management platform TDX.
Peter Curran, Managing Director for Financial Services at Countrywide, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Blenheim Chalcot to further expand our multi-channel offering for customers. Their experience of building successful digital businesses over many years is a great complement to our mortgage industry expertise. This year already we have strengthened our telephony mortgage sales channel and invested in technology to support our mortgage advisers.
"We plan to continue to grow all three channels as we offer a truly multi-channel proposition. This includes increasing our adviser force in the field, further strengthening our telephony team in Camberley and now through our partnership with Blenheim Chalcot, we’re able to offer digital tools to our advisers and launch a consumer-facing online mortgage proposition to further enhance the choice we give our customers.”
Dan Cobley, Managing Partner for FinTech at Blenheim Chalcot, added: “With more than 600 branch and telephone based mortgage consultants and decades of experience, Countrywide has unprecedented understanding of the mortgage industry. Combining that with our 20 years’ experience of building digital platforms and businesses is a winning formula. Together we will build the best possible customer journey through any channel.”
