M&S Bank has appointed mortgage network Mortgage Intelligence to its list of mortgage intermediary partners.

The news marks the start of an ongoing growth plan for M&S Bank’s intermediary network throughout 2019.

Paul Stokes, head of products at M&S Bank, said: “We offer a complete range of mortgage solutions with some additional specific solutions to help first time buyers realise their dream of home ownership as well as supporting families who want to help their loved ones take their first step onto the property ladder.

“The appointment of Mortgage Intelligence is another milestone for our growing intermediary channel, enabling even more customers to get the M&S-standard they have come to know and expect from the brand, when they make the most important purchase they’ll ever make – their home.”

Sally Laker, managing director of Mortgage Intelligence, added: “2019 promises to be an innovative year for M&S Bank so naturally we are delighted to be adding them to our growing lender panel. It’s great to see such a recognisable and well respected brand making first time buyers a cornerstone of its proposition, and I have no doubt that network members will find M&S Bank a valuable addition.”
