The Dudley Building Society has announced that master broker Clever Lending has become the latest distributor to join its panel of introducers.

Clever Lending is involved in first charge mortgages, second charge, commercial and bridging loans.

Jonathan Moore, head of credit at Dudley Building Society, said: “Clever Lending has impressed us with its professionalism and the progress it has made in establishing itself as a top tier service provider to intermediaries since launching just two years ago.

“We are looking forward to working with the Clever Lending team and through them their strong base of introducers.”

Paul Day, director of sales & development at Clever Lending, said: “We are delighted to be joining Dudley’s panel of approved introducers. Besides the competitive products, which cover the widest range of first charge residential requirements including buy-to-let products, the Society’s personal approach to underwriting will mean each case is reviewed by a human underwriter, which avoids the potential pitfalls often associated with technology based underwriting.

“Regional building societies like the Dudley provide a much needed common sense approach to lending and I know our introducers and their clients will benefit from our new partnership.”
