United Trust Bank Mortgages has joined forces with mortgage club Next Intelligence, marking a further expansion in the specialist lender’s distribution network across the country.
The partnership brings UTB onto the lender panel of Next Intelligence, a long-established mortgage club with a membership of over 6,000 registered advisers. The club has been active for more than 25 years, supporting brokers in residential and buy-to-let mortgages, second charge lending and bridging finance.
United Trust Bank focuses on customers often underserved by mainstream lenders. Its product range caters to individuals with complex incomes, borrowers seeking finance on non-standard construction properties or unusual locations, and those with some history of adverse credit.
The bank argues its underwriting model encourages broker engagement, allowing intermediaries to discuss more challenging cases directly with decision makers.
Caroline Mirakian (pictured), sales and marketing director – mortgages at United Trust Bank, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Next Intelligence and working closely with their fantastic team who constantly strive to deliver excellence and choice to their members.
“We share that same commitment at UTB and will support their brokers with high levels of service, competitive products and slick processing, which in turn will help their customers to achieve their property aspirations. We look forward to deepening our relationship with Next Intelligence over the coming months and years.”
The collaboration adds UTB to Next Intelligence’s existing panel of more than 95 lenders, enhancing the options available to the mortgage club’s broker community.
Cat Armstrong, mortgage club director at Next Intelligence, added: “We are delighted to be working more closely with UTB as part of our commitment to providing flexibility and choice to our members.
“Having UTB’s first-class service and specialist products available as a payment route option marks an exciting step forward and we look forward to the many benefits it will bring to our community.”
