This gives panel members direct access to the bank’s specialist rates of buy-to-let and home finance products.

Phil Whitehouse, head of MCI Club, said: “We are delighted with the addition of Gatehouse Bank to MCI’s growing panel.

“There is increasing demand for Shariah-compliant mortgage alternatives and Gatehouse Bank joining our panel shows that we are listening to our members and providing them with access to a specialist bank that provides a competitive range of products which are also Shariah-compliant.

“Gatehouse Bank will be a valuable addition to our panel and we look forward to working together.”

Roger Evans, director of home finance distribution at Gatehouse Bank, added: “As we continue to extend our reach into the intermediary market we are delighted to be working closely with MCI Club, offering brokers and their clients a high level of service, whether that’s for buy-to-let or our home finance products.

“We are seeing an increased demand from customers interested in our ethical approach, human underwriting and competitive products, as Shariah-compliant finance grows in the UK.”
