Hinckley & Rugby for Intermediaries has launched a new online broker portal, designed to deliver a faster experience for advisers.

The new portal has been developed with Sopra Banking Solutions, and includes new features such as instant DIP decisioning; ability to amend previously submitted DIPs; full mortgage application facility; a secure messaging system, giving brokers the ability to speak directly with the mutual about individual cases; clear visibility of how each case is progressing and easy upload of all packaging documents.

Commenting on the launch Hinckley & Rugby Building Society head of sales and distribution Laura Sneddon said: “I have no doubt that the new broker portal will be welcomed by intermediaries. It’s vital for lenders to put in place technology which makes the application process easier and faster, and that’s precisely what this portal does.”

She added: “We have utilised broker feedback in its design, to ensure it really works for them and ensures that it is as easy as possible to place cases with Hinckley & Rugby.”
