Handelsbanken has joined the lender panel of Mortgage Advice Bureau, widening the range of mortgage options available to advisers across the network.
Mortgage Advice Bureau advisers can now access Handelsbanken’s full mortgage proposition, alongside support from its decentralised UK branch network, where local teams are empowered to make lending decisions.
Handelsbanken provides banking and financial services to individuals, SMEs and large corporates, operating a network of branches stretching from Truro to Inverness.
The bank’s local relationship-led model means customers deal with decision-makers who understand their circumstances, an approach that has seen Handelsbanken consistently rated highly for customer satisfaction and relationship management.
Steve MacDonald, national head of intermediary business at Handelsbanken, said: “We’re delighted to be able to become part of MAB’s lender panel. We’re looking forward to being able to work with a company that has shown such a commitment to delivering a bespoke service that fits the diverse needs of their clients.
This aligns very closely with our ethos. We believe our tailored mortgage solutions and commitment to meeting the high expectations of customers will be a great fit.
“MAB’s network of mortgage advisers can now source our entire product suite, giving them access to our full range of residential products, individual customer service, and local expertise.”
Rachel Geddes, strategic lender relationship director at Mortgage Advice Bureau, added: “Welcoming Handelsbanken to MAB’s lender panel marks an important step in expanding the options available to our advisers.
“With more than 40 years in the UK market and a strong focus on building long-term relationships, Handelsbanken offers a distinctive proposition through its local branches and flexible lending solutions.
“Together, we share a commitment to helping more clients achieve their property goals, and we’re looking forward to developing this partnership for the benefit of brokers and homebuyers alike.”
