Connect for Intermediaries has announced that it is going to provide all of its network members with a Financial Intermediary and Broker Association (FIBA) membership, as one of their benefits for being a Connect for Intermediaries representative.
FIBA was launched in January with the aim of supporting brokers, assisting them in growing their business. Benefits of the FIBA membership include the ability to network with all who operate in the specialist finance market, dedicated regulatory support, marketing support and a corporate and personal credit check facility.
Connect for Intermediaries CEO Liz Syms commented: “Our AR brokers are at the heart of everything that we do. We prioritise achieving the very best outcomes for both our brokers and their clients and do so in an ethical and transparent manner. We believe this package of measures, together with the complementary membership of FIBA puts our brokers in prime position to also achieve the very best outcomes for their clients and to ensure that they have profitable, growing businesses.”
