e-Money Capital Limited has joined the Bridging & Development Lenders Association as the trade body’s latest lender member, taking total lender membership to 55.
e-Money Capital Limited, which trades as easyMoney, operates a property-focused peer-to-peer platform offering bridging and development finance secured against UK property and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
The Bridging & Development Lenders Association represents bridging and development lenders and their customers across the UK.
The association now counts 55 lender members with a collective loan book of more than £13 billion, while total membership including associate firms has surpassed 100 organisations.
Adam Tyler, chief executive of the BDLA, said: “We are pleased to welcome e-Money Capital Limited as a Lender Member of the BDLA.
“As the market continues to grow, the role of responsible lending, strong underwriting and a focus on customer outcomes becomes even more important.
“Lender Members are central to the Association’s work in promoting high standards across the sector, and we look forward to working with e-Money Capital Limited as we continue to strengthen the voice of bridging and development lenders.”
Jason Ferrando, chief executive at e-Money Capital Limited, added: “We are delighted to join the BDLA as a Lender Member and to support the work the Association is doing to promote high standards across specialist property finance.
“Through easyMoney, our focus is on providing simple, transparent access to property-backed bridging and development finance, and we look forward to working alongside fellow members as the sector continues to evolve.”
For the BDLA, the addition of another authorised lender comes at a time when scrutiny of underwriting standards and customer outcomes remains high on the agenda.
The trade body has continued to position itself as a collective voice for specialist lenders, as bridging and development finance play an increasingly prominent role in funding transactions across the property market.
EasyMoney’s membership signals its intention to align with industry standards and to participate more formally in sector-wide discussions around regulation, transparency and best practice in short-term and development lending.
