Metro Bank has become the latest lender to join the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB).

The specialist lender has joined the NACFB as an official lender patron.

The NACFB is the UK’s largest independent trade body for commercial finance brokers, with over 2,000 commercial intermediaries covering the whole of the UK.

Metro Bank is looking to expand its commercial lending, especially via the intermediary channel.

Simon Neale, head of commercial intermediaries at Metro Bank, said: “We are thrilled to reaffirm our relationship with the NACFB. The organisation’s excellent reputation and diverse networks make it an important partner as we drive commercial lending through its range of expert intermediaries.”
