"Regulation has changed the landscape of the second charge marketplace in recent times but there are still plenty of opportunities for the intermediary community."
Smart Money recently separated its regulated and unregulated arms, with Smart Money Finance becoming the focal point for all unregulated business activity and Smart Money providing specialist regulated lending support for the intermediary market.
Colin has over 22 years experience within financial services and joins Smart Money from Ocean Finance where he held the position of Head of Secured Lending for the past five years.
His role will be to strengthen advised and non-advised intermediary only relationships and build on Smart Money’s introducer proposition in relation to reward, service, technology and speed.
Paul Crewe, Managing Director at Smart Money, commented: “Colin has a wealth of financial services experience, especially within the second charge sector. He is passionate about the customer experience and delivering a start to finish process which will ensure that high standards are delivered quickly and effectively. This is a key appointment for us, and we firmly believe Colin is the man to help us grow and to establish even closer relationships with our extensive introducer network.”
Colin Mason added: “Smart Money is a business with an eye on the future and has some ambitious plans in the pipeline which I’m really excited to be part of. Regulation has changed the landscape of the second charge marketplace in recent times but there are still plenty of opportunities for the intermediary community. And I look forward to engaging with new and existing introducer partners to see how we can build on these opportunities now and in the future.”
