Mint Bridging has adopted the Safe4 service from Safe4 Information Management to provide a secure cloud platform to handle the documentation associated with its lending functions.

The bridging lender started using the Safe4 service in July 2017, and began the process of scanning and uploading some of its case documentation backlog. Safe4 will be used to handle the ongoing take-on of new lending cases, and will enable Mint to reduce its current paper-handling activities.

Paul Wertheim, director of Mint Bridging, said: “Safe4 allows Mint to make extensive use of cloud-based IT services, and is consistent with our policy of ensuring that confidential client information is handled as securely as possible.  It also allows us to achieve some operational efficiencies that will support our continuing rapid growth.

“We look forward to working with Safe4 as we go forward, and potentially to making more extensive of use of the range of capabilities that their product offers.”

Ben Martin, director of Safe4 Information Management, added: “We welcome the opportunity to engage with rapidly-growing businesses in the UK financial services sector.  Mint Bridging have made a conscious move towards the use of cloud-based services, as this offers greater resilience and heightened security in the management of extremely confidential client information.  They also interact extensively with law firms who provide supporting services.

“We are confident that our relationship with Mint Bridging will prosper as each of our businesses grows in the coming years.  This relationship also strengthens our partnership with IT Farm, who offer an excellent range of IT management services from their Manchester base.”
