Handelsbanken has joined the residential lender panel for the Quilter Network.

The partnership will provide Quilter’s mortgage advisers direct access to Handelsbanken’s suite of products and fully-decentralised branch network of local experts.

Handelsbanken offers banking and financial services to customers ranging from individuals to SMEs and large corporates.

Quilter Mortgage Network proposition manager Jackie Ashmore says: “We’re thrilled to welcome Handelsbanken to our lender panel. Their deep commitment to personalised service and strong local presence aligns perfectly with our values and the needs of our network firms.”

“By broadening adviser access to Handelsbanken’s mortgage solutions, we’re further empowering them to deliver tailored outcomes for clients with confidence and clarity.”

Handelsbanken national head of intermediary business Steve MacDonald adds: “This is our first formal agreement with a mortgage network and represents a real milestone in the ongoing development of our ambitious plans in the intermediary market.”

“Through their various platforms, product and services delivery channels, Quilter focuses heavily on maintaining excellent customer service, so seemed a natural choice to be the first mortgage network for us to ‘partner’ with.”

“Quilter’s network of mortgage advisers can now source our mortgage product range for their clients, giving them access to our full range of residential products, bespoke customer service, and local expertise.”
