OMS has recently completed a significant upgrade to its application programming interface (API) with Pepper Money, a specialist lender. This upgrade enables users to submit full mortgage applications across Pepper Money’s second charge product range, marking a major step forward in simplifying the mortgage application process.
The newly enhanced two-way API integration is specifically designed to improve efficiency in processing applications, assisting intermediaries by streamlining the advice process and speeding up application sourcing. By ensuring a smoother transition from decision in principle (DIP) to a full mortgage application, this integration addresses key concerns of brokers and clients alike.
Ryan McGrath, the second charge sales director at Pepper Money, commented on the development, highlighting the lender’s commitment to improving its propositions to brokers. He noted, “As the market-leading second charge lender, we’re continuously looking to improve our proposition for brokers “. This upgrade reflects Pepper Money’s broader strategy to make secured loans easier, quicker, and more cost-effective to complete.
By evolving the API integration with OMS, the company has simplified the end-to-end application process significantly. Importantly, this enhancement eliminates the need for OMS broker users to rekey data into Pepper Money’s systems, thereby reducing potential errors and the time taken to complete transactions.
The second charge market is experiencing rapid growth, and Pepper Money, supported by these technological advancements, is well-positioned to capitalise on this trend. Technological improvements like this API upgrade are pivotal in maintaining high service standards and meeting diverse borrowing needs.
Neal Jannels, managing director of OMS, emphasized the importance of technology in driving growth within the second charge sector. He stated that the API upgrade not only underscores significant technological progress but also enhances Pepper Money’s efficiency, providing intermediary partners with a more streamlined application process.
The enhanced API integration between OMS and Pepper Money exemplifies the vital role of technology in advancing the efficiency and efficacy of mortgage application processes.
