Intermediary platform Acre has announced a new partnership with Nationwide that will allow brokers to secure decision-in-principle (DiP) applications with the building society through the Acre platform.
Acre brokers can now connect seamlessly with Nationwide via application programming interfaces (APIs) that will save up to 45 minutes per case.
Acre’s fact find, which combines extensive publicly available credit and property data with customer information, and unique verification capabilities will mean Nationwide’s residential cases can be submitted electronically in one click.
The new partnership will also see Acre and Nationwide collaborate to bring new features to the intermediary platform such as full mortgage application submission, document upload and case tracking, all via APIs to support faster case applications.
Acre founder and CEO, Justus Brown, added: “We are constantly evolving the platform’s tech to help brokers work smarter and faster to deliver better outcomes for clients.
“Nationwide is one of the UK’s leading lenders and we are excited to not just integrate them into Acre but also work with them in partnership to make the task of finding and securing the best product less time consuming and have mortgages agreed at the click of a button.”
Intermediary digital relationships lead at Nationwide, Andy Tilsley, added: “New tech integrations, like this one with Acre, make it easier for brokers to do business with us and improves the service overall.
“Acre’s proposition means brokers are assured they have all the right information in one place to ensure a smoother mortgage process with us and get to a DiP quicker than ever before.”
