360 Dotnet has begun a multi-stage integration of Legal & General Mortgage Club’s digital mortgage criteria searching tool SmartrCriteria.

The move enables brokers to search lender application criteria direct from the 360 Lifecycle site.

The first stage of the integration, a direct link to SmartrCriteria for brokers from 360 Lifecycle will soon be live, enabling brokers to provide a more efficient service for their clients, 360 Dotnet said. With SmartrCriteria brokers can view outcome sheets, enabling them to indicate whether a lender will look at a customer’s case.

Further integrations are expected to follow, including improvement to the payment process. The specially developed claim tool, soon to be live in 360 Lifecycle, will allow brokers to process claims within the system once mortgages reach the exchange stage – notifying Legal & General Mortgage Club to activate payment. There are specific triggers which will filter in cases and keep an audit of those that have previously been claimed.

Kevin Roberts, director of Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: “SmartrCriteria was created with the aim of helping brokers find the right mortgage for their clients as efficiently as possible. We are always keen to integrate the Club’s technological developments with key platforms like 360 Lifecycle that we know are used by Mortgage Club members.

“Through these integrations we’re delivering on our ambition to create a truly frictionless path for brokers.”

Carlos Thibaut, CEO, 360 Dotnet, added: “Our integration with Legal & General Mortgage Club’s SmartrCriteria provides an exciting opportunity to collaborate with another mortgage technology service. We hope to see the integration supporting our brokers with future applications.”
