The new online portal allows potential customers to upload key documents to YBS Commercial Mortgages and forms part of the lender’s plans to increase its digital offering for customers and brokers.

Tom Simpson, managing director at YBS Commercial Mortgages, said: “We’ve seen enquiry levels more than double in the past year as we have expanded our team and opened new regional offices around the country.

“This the first step in our digital service development which we have been planning to further drive improvements for our customers and brokers.

“I also believe the current situation with the coronavirus outbreak is highlighting the need for improved digital offerings from providers and that they are going to be ever more important in the future.”

YBS Commercial Mortgages plans to launch more digital enhancements this year including a portal for brokers.

Jake Brook, head of systems at YBS Commercial Mortgages, said: “Customer service experience is at the core of our product delivery and an important part of our brand proposition.

“The new Customer Portal is a significant step for us, it is the first digital enhancement we have developed and launched with our system partner nCino and there are more to come. I’m really looking forward to seeing the difference this new digital platform will make to our customers.”
