The white label online solution allows mortgage advisers to obtain credit scores, reports and open banking data – with consumers’ consent – to help pre-qualify clients.

During a trial Chartwell said the system had increased applications and completions and it had restructured its internal sales processes in order to benefit more fully from having clients’ full financial details upfront.

Scott Howitt, sales director at Chartwell Mortgage Services, said: “We are constantly looking for ways that we can improve the customer journey and products and services that add real value to our customers, making it easy to do business with us.

“What we have experienced with our partnership with Click2Check and the Credit Assess product is real innovation, facilitating quicker and more accurate outcomes.

“Also, we share a commitment to efficiency which helps us achieve our objective of getting the customer the outcome they want without dragging out the process.

“The benefits to us as a business and our customers in using Credit Assess is huge due to these reasons.”

Credit Assess allows brokers to see customers’ full credit scores and reports plus banking information within minutes.

There is also an API function which allows firms to feed the credit report and bank information into their third-party proprietary software such as point-of-sale and CRM systems.

David Jones, director of Click2Check, said: “We are very pleased to have been chosen by Chartwell as its credit and open banking solution. Implementing Credit Assess into what was already a very slick process has helped drive completions, and with the firm’s internal processes now realigned around Credit Assess, it has meant an increase in applications without increasing staff numbers.

“Everyone at Click2Check is looking forward to working with Chartwell, evolving this partnership to their future needs and working further on developing real added value to their, and many other advisory firms’, propositions.”

Credit Assess is available to all advisory firms, distributors, CRM provider and networks, and is provided with a full training package.
