SimplyBiz Mortgages and UTB extend partnership

SimplyBiz Mortgages has announced it is to extend its offering with United Trust Bank (UTB).

The move will allow members to access the lender’s first charge mortgage provisions through its panel. 

The firms have worked in partnership for the last three years to offer second charge products to SimplyBiz Mortgages members. 

“Having enjoyed a successful relationship with UTB and offering their second charge products, we are excited that the bank is joining our main lending panel for first mortgages, offering our advisers, and their customers, even more choice,” commented head of SimplyBiz Mortgages, Makayla Everitt.

“UTB’s team has consistently shown its commitment to supporting our members in securing the best outcomes for clients. I am sure their addition to the first charge panel will be warmly welcomed.”

UTB director – property intermediaries, Mike Walters, added: “SimplyBiz Mortgages was our first partner when we launched our direct to lender second charge offering in 2018 and it still shares our ambition to continuously develop and improve products, processes and service standards.

“We have built a strong relationship with the team at SimplyBiz Mortgages over the last three years, and I’m delighted that its members will now have access to our growing first charge product range as well.”
