First Mortgage has formed a strategic partnership with Moneybox, the digital wealth manager.

The partnership aims to make homeownership more accessible, transparent, and achievable for first-time buyers and home movers across the UK.

Together the companies will be able to provide more people access to mortgage advice, digital tools and guidance.

First Mortgage says by integrating its advice into Moneybox’s digital experience, it will be able to expand its reach to many more prospective homebuyers.

The announcement also comes at a time of strategic expansion, with a new office opening in Bath this September and the recent acquisition of Lucra Mortgages to expand its national footprint.

In addition, the partnership represents a pivotal step in the next phase of growth for Moneybox.

Moneybox director of strategic growth Alex Hayman says: “Since launching in 2021, the Moneybox mortgage service has gone from strength to strength, reaching profitability and earning industry recognition for digital innovation and service excellence.”

“This partnership marks a positive next step for the business, unlocking greater opportunity for both our customers and our colleagues.”

First Mortgage chief executive Ian McGrail adds: “Moneybox has built a vibrant, highly engaged community of future homeowners, many of whom are just beginning to envision their first property.”

“At First Mortgage, our role is to transform those dreams into reality. We’ll guide them from that very first conversation all the way to moving in — and beyond — with expert advice, market insight, and complete transparency.”
