Fluent Money Group is to work with NerdWallet as its exclusive partner for secured loans, mortgages and equity release in the UK marketplace.

NerdWallet is a San Francisco-based fintech, providing resources for people looking for finance and financial guidance. The business entered the UK aggregator market last year, acquiring Know Your Money, a provider of clear and simple comparisons on financial products, with a view to driving market share in the UK.

Through its partnership with Fluent, NerdWallet will have access to Fluent’s panel of lenders. NerdWallet customers will access the entire mortgage process through a single, interactive platform.

The My Fluent App allows customers to access and download all of their documents 24/7, add their notes, and view and speak with their adviser, all in real-time. Customers can even use biometric and document verification to confirm their identity for the mortgage process through the App.

Paul Ford, group commercial director, said: “We’re really excited to be working with NerdWallet following a successful tender process, and this is very much part of our strategy to become the platform of choice for aggregators in the UK.

“Since founding the business in 2008, we have gone from strength to strength, working with the aggregators, providing a market-leading approach to supporting customers on their financial journey.

“We’re delighted to be supporting NerdWallet as they look to grow their own mortgage vertical and provide greater choice to consumers in the mortgage and later life borrowing market.”

Jason Tassie, commercial director at Nerdwallet, said: “We are excited to be building on our already successful partnership with Fluent Money with the launches of mortgages and equity release.

“It made perfect sense for us to partnership with Fluent with their technology driven approach to these products coupled with a wide panel of lenders for users to choose from.”
