Twenty7tec has announced an upgrade to its Nationwide APPLY functionality to streamline and enhance the journey for intermediaries.

The latest upgrade will advance how advisers use the mortgage tech firm’s APPLY module, including the decision in principle (DIP) journey, while also enhancing the research and application process, allowing advisers to be more efficient.

The upgrade will also provide advisers with access to expanded customer types, such as self-employed, foreign nationals and interest-only customers; enhanced capabilities, with product reservations now made directly via APPLY; increased flexibility and seamless transfers.

Director of customer relationships at Twenty7tec, Nathan Reilly, said: "This latest upgrade with Nationwide shows both sides' commitment to continuing to reduce friction during the mortgage advice process to improve the experience for advisers and end customers. This is at a time when efficiency and productivity has never been more important.

"It’s been fantastic to once again work with the Nationwide team that continues to be a fantastic partner in championing adviser adoption of technology and shares our vision of constant development to deliver a truly connected mortgage process."

Head of intermediary digital at Nationwide, Andy Tilsley, concluded: "Through broker feedback and in collaboration with Twenty7tec, we continue to strive for a proposition that enables a seamless, more efficient way of trading with Nationwide with this upgrade representing a significant enhancement to the broker digital journey.

"The capability to now reserve a product line within APPLY together with an expanded DIP offering represents another milestone in delivering this seamless proposition benefiting both broker and customer.

"We look forward to continuing our working partnership with Twenty7tec with improvements in the pipeline further cementing our commitment to the intermediary market."
