Cumberland Building Society has announced the launch of a new broker portal, developed in collaboration with Mast. This initiative aims to make the mortgage process more efficient for intermediaries. The introduction of this portal reflects Cumberland’s ongoing commitment to improving the services offered to brokers, further building on its earlier success with the launch of an affordability calculator earlier in the year.
The portal supports brokers from the initial enquiry through to application submission and completion, streamlining tasks that are traditionally time-consuming. By automating various administrative processes such as document uploads, the portal allows brokers to focus more on client interactions, thereby enhancing the quality of service provided.
Grant Seaton, Head of Intermediary Lending at Cumberland, highlighted the significance of reducing the administrative workload for brokers, especially in today’s dynamic market. According to him, the new system will not only facilitate faster mortgage processing but also ensure that brokers can offer more precise advice to their clients, reflecting an important step in Cumberland’s mission to deliver top-tier service.
Joy Abisaab, CEO of Mast, expressed delight in the partnership, asserting that the platform is intended to revolutionise broker interactions with Cumberland. The collaboration is based on a shared vision of utilising technology to enrich both broker and client experiences, promising a positive impact across the mortgage industry.
This technological advancement is set to redefine intermediary interactions within the mortgage landscape.
