Software provider Iress has extended its partnership with mortgage and protection platform Acre.

Under the terms of the renewed agreement, Iress will integrate its mortgage sourcing data and Lender Connect API into Acre’s intermediaries software.

Iress provides software and services for mortgages, trading and market data, financial advice, investment management, superannuation, pensions and data intelligence.

The firm’s extension with Acre aims to equip brokers with enhanced sourcing and affordability capabilities, allowing for more efficient case management.

Iress head of business development, sourcing, Warren O’Connell, added: “In today’s economic environment, it’s essential that brokers can give their customers the most up to date and broadest range of mortgage information.

“Iress’ collaboration with Acre, along with Iress’ unmatched product coverage, ensures their brokers have as much information as possible to make informed recommendations for their customers.”

Acre CEO and founder, Justus Brown, added: “Iress has played an integral role in the Acre experience for the past two years, allowing advisors to eliminate the time-consuming process of rekeying data for every decision in principle or application.

“We are thrilled to be able to expand our collaboration to bring the future of mortgage and protection technology to brokers. As a result, brokers can run the entire mortgage journey in one place and secure the right deal for the customer every time, while preventing foreseeable harm.”
