Twenty7tec has announced the successful integration of NatWest into its APPLY module.

The collaboration is set to streamline the research and application process for intermediaries by removing the need to rekey data and navigate multiple systems.

Through the integration, Velocity users will be able to submit both decision in principle (DiP) and full mortgage applications (FMA) to NatWest, via APPLY.

Users will also have the ability to download a DiP certificate, upload required customer documentation, make customer card payments and manage case updates and decisioning through APPLY.

The end-to-end integration has been piloted by Connells Group and Mortgage Advice Bureau.

Director of customer relationships at Twenty7tec, Nathan Reilly, said: "With advisers still having to navigate regular product and rate changes, there has arguably never been a greater onus on speed and certainty for advisers, whilst still having to maintain the same level of accuracy.

"By seamlessly passing data from the research process through to submission, the integration between APPLY and NatWest meets the needs of advisers by delivering a more efficient and robust submission process, alongside giving them more time to help their customer navigate a constantly evolving market."
