Intermediary platform, Acre, has announced an upgrade to the platform integrated with Nationwide for Intermediaries that will enable more cases to be supported.
Acre's integration into Nationwide via its latest Application Programming Interface (API) ensures that brokers can serve a more diverse range of client types - from the self-employed and foreign nationals to interest-only mortgages.
This upgrade also allows Acre users to benefit from enhanced capabilities and increased flexibility that help meet the demands of clients and improve day-to-day engagement with Nationwide. Additionally, brokers can now reserve product lines directly from Acre and download a DIP certificate to the case documents.
Acre has also unveiled newly enhanced pre-submission checks on its platform, ensuring that all case data is sourced and verified ahead of application. Brokers will be able to see when their case is ready for DIP and move faster toward a full application thanks to Acre’s verification engine.
Justus Brown, Acre’s founder and CEO, said: “Homebuyers and those wishing to remortgage want a quick mortgage decision. We are constantly evolving our platform to find new ways to reduce any friction in the mortgage journey. Our partnership with Nationwide is rooted in a belief that technology makes the task of securing the best-fit mortgage simpler and faster. Today’s development is indicative of our shared mission as well as a relationship that continues to go from strength to strength."
Andy Tilsley, head of intermediary digital at Nationwide Building Society, added: “It is crucial that we make it easier for brokers to do business with us and, through our partnership with Acre, we are improving the digital broker journey. Today’s announcement marks steps in enhancing the day-to-day experience with us and signifies our long-term collaboration with Acre.”
