First 4 Bridging (F4B) has partnered with Nivo to deliver a secure instant messaging and document gathering service for its intermediary partners and introducers.

The service will help advisers to navigate the requirements for certified ID, usually provided by a solicitor.

Clients can e-sign documents, upload payslips and verify their identification using Nivo’s facial recognition process to simplify and speed up the application process. Nivo said that its system also helps to eliminate human error associated with hard-copy documents, mitigates potential fraud and supports compliance processes.

F4B’s presence across the UK has grown in recent years and in February last year, the packager expanded its intermediary proposition with the launch of the F4B Network. This came on the back of demand from advisers who have utilised the packager’s expertise across the specialist lending markets.

F4B director, Donna Wells, commented: “We’re always looking for ways to improve how we work with advisers. It’s all about adapting and evolving to ensure that we are constantly delivering the right results and service in the most secure and efficient manner possible.

“Speed, accuracy and transparency are key factors in successfully maximising the benefits attached to a range of short-term solutions and this partnership will provide our intermediary partners and introducers with all of the above.”

Nivo sales lead, Polly Taylor-Pullen, added: “We’re thrilled to have partnered with F4B, especially at such an exciting time for the business. F4B have joined the Nivo network to make communication between the borrower, their intermediary partners and lenders even quicker and easier.”
