"We’re incredibly excited to be able to bring this M&S-standard service to customers purchasing a home, whether they’re making their first or final step on the property ladder, and for every move in-between."
The Bank plans to offer mortgage products for first-time buyers and home movers across a range of terms, with full details expected to be available in the new year.
The news comes as it marks its fifth anniversary as a bank and current account provider, after launching the M&S Bank brand in 2012.
Sue Fox, CEO of M&S Bank, said: “Since launching as a bank just five years ago, the M&S current accounts have proven incredibly popular with customers who want a transparent bank account, with no overdraft charges, and the same great service they have come to know and expect from the M&S brand. We’re incredibly excited to be able to bring this M&S-standard service to customers purchasing a home, whether they’re making their first or final step on the property ladder, and for every move in-between.
“Many of our customers have shopped with M&S their whole lives, feeling the comfort of the brand at every key life event, from their first day of school, to their first job interview, and every Christmas, wedding and family get-together along the way. We’re now in a position to support our customers with the biggest financial decision they’ll ever make – their home. And we know this isn’t just a financial decision - it’s about family, friends and future – and the memories that make up the tapestry of our lives.”
