Cornerstone Finance opts for Acre’s intermediary platform

Mortgage intermediary platform Acre has announced that Cornerstone Finance is the latest broker to go live with its platform.

The move will see Cardiff-based Cornerstone Finance digitally transform the way it does business by having its its entire mortgage process managed end-to-end.

Cornerstone Finance’s network handles a large caseload of mortgage and protection advice. Acre’s platform will help the firm to streamline the management of the business by bringing elements such as a standard advice process, compliance, broker communications, management of AR’s, reporting, accounting, and regulatory filings all into one central place.

This approach means that Cornerstone Finance’s brokers can save significant admin time on fact finds, paperwork and re-keying case data, to spend more time helping clients to source and close the best deals.   

Cornerstone Finance CEO, Michael Wayman, commented: “We’ve built our business on delivering a great service to both our Appointed Representatives and their clients, providing fast and friendly advice and speedy lending decisions. Adopting Acre’s platform means we can take a modern, tech-driven approach that represents the future of our industry.

“We can give our brokers more breathing room to listen to clients, facilitate better management of cases and get people their dream home.”

Acre founder and CEO, Justus Brown, added: “We welcome Cornerstone Finance into our growing network of brokers using our platform. Such a prominent network choosing Acre as its technology partner demonstrates that our platform is able to support the advice journey for even the most complex organisations.”
