Mat Rees (pictured), CEO at Beneficial Network, said: “We are thrilled to have Reliance Bank on our panel. FTB, Shared Ownership, and Key Worker Mortgages are all essential areas of the mortgage market, and Reliance Bank’s addition to our panel will ensure our members have much-needed solutions for this group of borrowers.
