MCI Mortgage Club adds Reliance Bank to panel

The MCI Mortgage Club has expanded its panel to include Reliance Bank, increasing the number of ethical options available to its members.

Reliance Bank’s range focuses on those that deliver a positive social impact and includes shared ownership, with the individual underwriting of cases to ensure more customers with unusual circumstances are placed.

MCI Club said it was continuing to enhance its membership offering to brokers during the Covid-19 crisis and that its growing panel is backed by an improved technology proposition, including the Burrow online digital broker platform, anti-money-laundering (AML) and credit reports within the eKeeper CRM system, as well as extensive sourcing options.

Head of the MCI Club, Phil Whitehouse, commented: “It is a testimony to MCI Club’s growing popularity with lenders and intermediaries that we are one of a very small number of mortgage clubs that can distribute Reliance Bank mortgage products in the intermediary market.

“Reliance Bank are renowned for their high levels of customer service. MCI Club’s growing membership will be delighted by the opportunities to place more complex cases with a lender that has high levels of customer satisfaction at their heart.”

Reliance Bank head of mortgages, Gareth Byrne, added: "We are excited to offer our mortgage range to members of MCI Club. Our customers tell us that we provide fantastic service, and advisers can be confident that our team will provide their clients with a great customer experience and help them achieve their financial needs.”
