Sesame Network has announced Tandem Bank as its latest lender partner.

The move means advisers will have access to the lender’s full package of residential purchase, remortgage and debt consolidation products, which includes EPC discounted mortgages with a 0.3% discount applied where a property has an EPC rating of C or above.

It follows PMS Mortgage Club, also part of SBG, partnering with the lender to boost its refinance options earlier this year.

Stephanie Charman, strategic relationships director at Sesame Bankhall Group, said: “We are so pleased to be partnering with Tandem Bank, as part of our continued commitment to providing advisers with access to the widest possible range of products to suit their clients’ increasingly specialist needs.

“At a time when the purchase and remortgage process can be fraught with challenges, Tandem is focused on helping homeowners obtain funds as quickly and easily as possible, with its clear no-interest fees meaning brokers can ensure there are no nasty surprises. In addition, its range of green incentives allows customers to prioritise environmental considerations, without compromising on cost.”

Richard Angell (pictured), head of sales and national accounts at Tandem, added: “Our key aim is to make the purchase and remortgage process as efficient and worry-free as possible, so we’re extremely excited to be bringing our products to more advisers. With Sesame Network’s values so firmly aligned with our own, we look forward to helping their members provide access to a broader pool of lending solutions that meet their customers’ ever-evolving needs.”
