Legal & General has integrated with mortgage and protection network, HLPartnership, to simplify access for advisers using its SmartrCriteria and SmartrFit systems.
The move will allow intermediaries to benefit from a streamlined connection directly between the two providers, allowing them to use SmartrCriteria or SmartrFit via HLPartnership’s portal without having to sign in multiple times.
This is the second integration of its kind, following a similar announcement between L&G and Smartr365 earlier this year.
Similar partnerships are expected to be announced as part of the club’s wider technology journey, which will see it working closely with a range of other providers to bring its tools to a broader intermediary audience. L&G’s SmartrCriteria and SmartrFit tools are free to all mortgage advisers, including those who are not members of the mortgage club.
“We’re committed to providing cutting-edge technology that streamlines the mortgage journey and benefits intermediaries,” L&G head of mortgage transformation and operations, Clare Beardmore, commented.
“Our free to use SmartrCriteria and SmartrFit tools have helped utilise intelligent search criteria to improve the accuracy of search results for intermediaries. And, through these partnerships we are also making our tools accessible via advisers’ existing systems, providing functionality that integrates seamlessly with their current ways of working.
“We are excited to bring the benefits of our intelligent tools to more advisers via our integration with HLPartnership.”
HLPartnership commercial director, Neil Hoare, added: “As part of our ambition to provide advisers with the best tools to improve the efficiency and accuracy of their work, we are continually looking towards innovative new technology that supports intermediaries.
“Our integration with L&G’s search and sourcing tools clearly falls in line with that goal and we have already received a significant amount of positive feedback from advisers who have found the most suitable mortgage solutions much more quickly and easily than before when a lengthy telephone call was the only alternative.”
