GB Bank has been added to Knowledge Bank’s criteria sourcing platform, giving brokers access to its latest specialist lending criteria through KB PRO.

The move means intermediaries can search GB Bank’s lending appetite across buy-to-let and bridging finance as they assess cases involving larger loans and more complex borrowers.

Knowledge Bank said the integration will allow brokers to view up-to-date criteria more quickly, which could help shorten research time and broaden the range of options available when placing specialist cases.

GB Bank lends on residential, semi-commercial and commercial property investments. It works with UK companies, individuals, offshore structures and foreign nationals with a UK bank account, with cases assessed individually by underwriters and relationship managers.

The lender’s addition to the platform comes as brokers continue to deal with more varied client requirements and a greater need for specialist funding routes.

Shane Chawatama, sales director at Knowledge Bank, said: “We’re delighted to welcome GB Bank to the Knowledge Bank platform. As a fast-growing specialist lender in the intermediary market, its addition brings brokers a broader range of options to better support their clients.”

“This strengthens how intermediaries’ access and use lending criteria, enabling quicker, more informed decisions, and reinforces our commitment to delivering practical, user-focused solutions for the industry.”

Nick Allen, head of marketing, product & proposition at GB Bank, added: “Our partnership with Knowledge Bank enhances the support we provide to intermediaries, making it simpler to navigate our criteria and place cases with confidence.”

“As a specialist lender assisting with large loans and complex cases, being on Knowledge Bank ensures brokers can quickly access and understand our proposition – helping them deliver the right outcomes for their clients, faster.”
