Intermediary platform, Acre, has upgraded its functionality with Nationwide, enabling brokers to submit full mortgage applications via Acre.
Acre’s enhancement with Nationwide reduces the process of rekeying data and speeds up the process - saving up to an additional 20 minutes per case, up from a 15 minute saving through the existing Nationwide/Acre DIP integration.
The time saved is due to the additional information required for Nationwide’s full mortgage application being pre-populated from Acre’s fact find.
Reuben Thompson, Acre's vice president of product innovation, said: “At Acre we strive to be the ultimate partner for brokers for the mortgage journey, delivering new ways to help them save valuable time and money and get their clients into their homes quicker than ever before. The ongoing work we are doing with Nationwide is a direct reflection of this and indicates where we see the future of mortgage technology heading - driving us towards a one-click mortgage application.”
Andy Tilsley, Nationwide’s head of intermediary digital, added: “This is a great milestone to achieve, brought about through collaboration at pace. Making it simpler for brokers and saving them time remain key objectives for us. Whilst this is fantastic news, we are not resting on our laurels and will be continuing to make further enhancements to benefit brokers.”
