Keychain launches specialist bridging and commercial workflows

Keychain has announced the launch of its new specialist bridging and commercial workflows.

The digital client platform for property finance advisers said that this makes its platform fully suitable for brokers and firms operating solely in the specialist finance market, as well as those also offering mainstream mortgage and protection advice.

Keychain provides firms with their own full branded client platform, where customers can complete fact-finds, share documents and e-sign agreements from one platform and on any device.

The new workflows include fact-finds tailored specifically to bridging and commercial transactions, enabling firms to streamline data capture and document collection for complex property finance cases.

The platform reduced the time advisers and admin teams spend on collecting case files by automating client chasing and using AI to check uploaded documents and flag areas for further investigation.

Chief executive officer at Keychain, Jack Rogers, said: "Bridging and commercial cases are among the most admin-heavy and time-pressured transactions in the market. Advisers need tools that are specifically built for these transactions, as legacy systems designed around the vanilla residential and BTL mortgage market just aren’t up to the job.

"We have expanded our platform, already used by hundreds of advisers in the residential and buy-to-let space, to give specialist finance firms a modern platform that genuinely makes their day-to-day lives easier."
