The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has joined the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI).

Appointed Representatives (ARs) of The Right Mortgage & Protection Network can now get access to news via its monthly newsletter, regular updates on legal and regulatory issues that impact the mortgage market, and the AMI website.

The website also comes with access to factsheets and technical guidance, as well as industry Viewpoints on Protection and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

AMI’s core role is to lobby and campaign on behalf of the intermediary and ensure they are aware of change that is impending.

TRM members will have AMI membership at no additional cost to their business.

Ben Allen, compliance director of The Right Mortgage Network, said: “Being part of a trade body such as AMI adds to our credibility and enhances our proposition. It also offers us the chance to increase engagement with the regulator. I have long admired the work that Rob Sinclair and everyone at AMI are doing.

“They really understand the challenges mortgage intermediaries are facing and provide an excellent platform along with necessary support to meet and overcome these.”

Robert Sinclair (pictured), chief executive of Association of Mortgage Intermediaries, added: “AMI is pleased to welcome The Right Mortgage & Protection Network to membership. With the challenges facing the industry it is critical that AMI has the sector behind it and is able to listen to all voices.

“As we confront the Green agenda and changes to the Appointed Representative regime we look forward to working together to ensure balanced decisions.”
