Twenty7Tec has announced that Halifax Intermediaries has been added to its APPLY module and will shortly be rolled out to all users of the CloudTwenty7 platform.

The move follows a successful trial and will enable users to submit Decision in Principle (DiP) applications to Halifax without the need to rekey data.

Twenty7Tec said the APPLY integration with Halifax will support DiP requests for residential applications, as well as broker authentication, decisioning and case tracking. If the DiP is accepted, the adviser will be able to pick up the case in the Halifax portal and complete the full mortgage application.

Halifax joins Nationwide, Barclays and Virgin who have all now completed and rolled out integrations with the mortgage technology provider’s APPLY module, with more lenders expected to follow in 2021.

“We have been working with Halifax since October 2020 to support the development of their API for DiP applications, and the success that we have both seen through our pilot has been hugely impressive,” commented Twenty7Tec CEO, James Tucker.

“Feedback from our users in this pilot has re-enforced our strong belief that using APPLY to submit applications to Halifax saves significant amounts of time versus keying applications directly into the lender portal.

“This time saving ultimately results in the adviser spending more time with their clients, and therefore delivering the best possible service and exceptional standards of advice.”

Head of Halifax Intermediaries, Ian Wilson, added: “We are delighted to be announcing this integration with Twenty7tec as one of the significant technology players in our market.

“As technology moves forward and our customers’ expectations change, it is imperative that we keep up with and advance the ways in which Intermediaries can do business with us to meet the needs of customers. API integrations have been long awaited in the market and whilst we all have much to learn we are delighted to have made this significant step.”
