GB Bank has joined the Financial Intermediary & Broker Association (FIBA) as a lender partner.

The specialist bank joins FIBA’s group of lender and funder partners, which work with the trade association and its membership of professional finance intermediaries across the residential mortgage, commercial finance and wider specialist finance sectors.

As a lender partner, GB Bank will be able to engage with FIBA members through the association’s regional meetings, events and annual conference, as well as contribute insight, updates and commentary to its wider membership.

GB Bank chief executive Eddie Trahearn says: “Becoming a FIBA Lender Partner provides GB Bank with a great opportunity to build closer relationships with intermediaries, contribute to wider industry discussions and gain further insight into the issues affecting brokers and their clients.”

FIBA chair Martin Reynolds adds: “We are delighted to welcome GB Bank as our latest Lender Partner. Our Lender and Funder Partners play an important role within FIBA, giving our members the opportunity to engage directly with specialist lenders while also bringing additional expertise and insight into the association.”
