Airdrie Savings Bank has launched with Legal & General Mortgage Club.

Airdrie Savings Bank claims it to be Britain’s last independent savings bank.

Rod Ashley, chief executive officer of Airdrie Savings Bank, said: “During our initial conversations with our local intermediary partners last year we were always confident there would be demand for our product range.

“We like to think that we look after real people which is embedded in our ethos and organisational DNA. If your clients are first time buyers looking for 90% to buy their first flat and rejected by the mainstream lenders for a minor credit blip a few years back or perhaps even last month or a premiership footballer at the cusp of a fantastic career but looking for a normal mortgage term we have the solution to help your clients move into their new home. The unusual or difficult to place case is always worth chatting through with our underwriters.

“By launching a partnership with the largest distributor in the UK in the form of Legal & General Mortgage Club, I firmly believe that our experienced team at Airdrie Savings Bank will exceed its volume aspirations in 2015 and beyond.”
