NatWest said it had been the main area advisers asked to be addressed since its launch into product transfers in December 2017.
Graham Felstead, head of intermediary mortgage at NatWest Intermediary Solutions, said: “I’m delighted we are adding additional borrowing to our product transfer process and believe this further demonstrates our commitment to the market.
“We are constantly reviewing our proposition and product offering, as well as listening to broker feedback to ensure our approach best suits brokers and their customers.”
