"Our operational efficiencies will be improved massively allowing our team to continue delivering a first-class service to our introducers and end user clients"
The integration will allow The Lending Channel to offer extensive product sourcing without the need to rekey any data, plus access to OMS’s end-to-end mortgage system and full workflow solution.
OMS covers product areas such as residential, buy-to-let, second charge, equity release, bridging, commercial, plus general insurance and protection. It has already integrated with Iress, Twenty7Tec, Hometrack, iPipeline and Knowledge Bank to provide users with product sourcing, AVMs, protection sourcing and criteria searching.
Since 2010, The Lending Channel has brokered around £160 million worth of lending across both residential and commercial property finance, including short-term finance, first and second charge mortgage and specialist buy-to-let markets. It is fully authorised by the FCA and an accredited member of the NACFB.
Neal Jannels, managing director of OMS, commented: “The Lending Channel is similar to OMS in the sense that it is a growing family business which is fully versed on the intricacies of the modern mortgage market and focused on making each and every client journey an outstanding one.
“These synergies shone through from an early stage of discussions and we are looking forward to working closely with the team to ensure that we both grow in the right way by continuing to provide the highest levels of support and always delivering on our promises.”
Alistair Ewing, managing director at The Lending Channel, added: “From the very opening dialogue, we have been very impressed with both the proposition and team at OMS. We were looking initially to simply replace our existing and outdated CRM system – but this offers us so much more! Our operational efficiencies will be improved massively allowing our team to continue delivering a first-class service to our introducers and end user clients in a market that will only continue to get more competitive.”
