Under the new connection 360 Dotnet intermediaries will be able to receive instant decisions from multiple lenders at once, without needing to re-key customer data.

Mortgage Engine, which connects distributors and lenders via its API platform, brought the first fully-functioning multi-DIP proposition to the mortgage market in November 2019. The fintech firm has since announced connections with a series of distributors and broker firms.

It is is integrated with 22% of the UK mortgage lender market, including Santander and NatWest, but is expanding its proposition with a wider variety of lender connections over the coming months.

Cloë Atkinson (pictured), managing director, Mortgage Engine, said: “We are working hard to make the mortgage application process more efficient by enabling straight-through application processing which eliminates the need to rekey customer data for DIPs from multiple lenders.

“This connection with 360 Dotnet marks a positive step on our journey to achieving that, and it’s really exciting to bring connectivity to a wider range of brokers through our API platform.”

360 Dotnet provides an interactive client management platform, 360 Lifecycle, that supports IFAs, mortgage and insurance brokers to grow their business.

360 Lifecycle currently provides benefits to over 20% of the mortgage market. The system puts firms in control of their data and company processes by improving customer service, maintaining strong client relationships and creating new opportunities.

Ozgur Unlu, managing director, 360 Dotnet said: “We are doing everything we can to empower our mortgage adviser partners to transact business more efficiently.

“This new proposition will enable them to get a decision to clients quicker and help secure them a mortgage, which is imperative in the current market.

“Mortgage Engine has brought an innovative proposition to the mortgage market and we look forward to working with them on this to support our intermediary partners.”
