OSB Group has become the latest member to join the Association of Short-Term Lenders (ASTL).

OSB Group’s lending brands include Precise Mortgages, InterBay Commercial, Heritable Development Finance and Kent Reliance for Intermediaries.

Later this month, Adrian Moloney, group intermediary director at OSB Group, will speak at the ASTL Annual Conference, delivering a lender’s view of the short-term market.

Moloney (pictured) said: “We are delighted that the OSB Group has joined the ASTL. The short-term lending market has grown in strength and reputation under the guidance of the ASTL, which remains the leading trade association for lenders in the sector.

“This market has a great opportunity to provide finance solutions for an even wider group of customers, but it can only make the most of the opportunity if it continues to maintain high standards of customer focus and transparency and we are looking forward to playing an active role with the ASTL in helping to achieve this.”

Vic Jannels, CEO of the ASTL, added: “I’d like to welcome OSB Group as the latest lender to join the ASTL. We now have more than 40 lender members, representing the vast majority of recognisable brands in the short-term property lending market.

“OSB Group is a large, influential player that will help to give us a stronger voice in promoting the sector, engaging with policy makers and upholding standards.”
