Knowledge Bank has announced a new partnership with specialist lender, Hodge, to provide brokers with comprehensive criteria sourcing of Hodge's product range on its own intermediary website.
 
Hodge launched its new website and portal at the beginning of May to make it easier for brokers to access its growing range of products, which includes residential, retirement, equity release and buy-to-let mortgages.

While the new portal enables brokers to access everything from the key documentation to a full application, the collaboration with Knowledge Bank means all detailed criteria information about Hodge’s products that brokers would have previously had to speak to a BDM, or have a subscription to Knowledge Bank to access, will now be available through the new website.
 
Knowledge Bank suggested this will enable brokers to quickly carry out a full search across a range of criteria to see which of Hodge’s mortgage products are suitable for their clients.
 
The criteria search specialist is providing all the information of Hodge’s criteria across its entire product range via a secure application programming interface (API), to make the information from the Knowledge Bank site visible through Hodge’s website.
 
Knowledge Bank CEO, Nicola Firth, said: “We are so pleased to be able to provide Hodge with our API to power its criteria search. Together with its new intermediary website and portal, they have provided brokers with a state of the art facility to search everything from its key documentation to criteria and complete a full application seamlessly.

“This will help to ensure every mortgage application is one where the broker can prove their client fits the criteria required by Hodge without needing to pick up the phone for many cases.”
 
Hodge chief technology officer, Mark Evans, added: “Knowledge Bank has been incredibly easy to work with and having access to their API feed has meant we can provide brokers with a comprehensive system that is seamless from end to end.

“The portal was designed to make it easier for brokers to access our growing range of innovative products and having Knowledge Bank’s easy-to-use criteria search on there has been a key part of this.”
