Advisers can now send decisions in principle (DIPs) to the lender, in addition to the ability to transact with the likes of Nationwide Building Society, Virgin Money, Coventry Building Society and Platform through the Lendex gateway.

Nicola Alvarez, corporate account manager at Accord, said: “We are delighted to be able to make this technology available to all Lendex users after concluding a successful pilot, delivering significant time-saving benefits to our broker partners and making Accord even easier to do business with.”

Neil Wyatt, sales and marketing director at Mortgage Brain, added: “Over the last few months we’ve seen a host of big name lenders enter pilot phases or go live on Lendex.

“There is no question that momentum is building behind the platform now, as the industry recognises how Lendex can provide significant support to advisers and improve the mortgage process for everyone involved.”
