Bank of Ireland for Intermediaries is announcing a new partnership with Sesame Network. Products will be available to 1000 mortgage advisers through the Sesame Network.
The move follows the announcement of several similar partnerships since the organisation re-entered the British intermediary mortgage market in December under its own brand.
As part of its growth plans, Bank of Ireland for Intermediaries is focused on the roll out of its proposition across the UK intermediary mortgage market. The organisation has prioritised the recruitment of experienced staff and the establishment of its multi-million pound investment in an online application system built in collaboration with the intermediary community, a system which is now recognised as one of the fastest available in the market. This is making mortgage applications and processing quicker, more efficient and cost effective for brokers.
The announcement of a partnership with Sesame Network marks the latest stage of this progression, with the network forming part of the Sesame Bankhall Group, which represents 25% of all UK intermediated mortgage lending. Alison Pallett, Director of Sales UK Mortgages at Bank of Ireland UK, said “This partnership adds another top performing network of mortgage advisers offering our products to their customers.
“Working with the very best brokers has always been our key goal, and it is a source of great pride that we can name Sesame as one of our trusted partners across the UK.
“This stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of people we have put in place to ensure we best serve the brokers we work alongside.”
John Cupis, MD, Mortgages at Sesame Bankhall Group, commented on the news: “We are very pleased to form this partnership, as our goal is always to be able to offer our customers the very best financial products available across the market.
“Together with Bank of Ireland for Intermediaries we are wellplaced to meet this requirement, and our intention is to build on this collaboration over the coming years.”
