Scottish Widows Bank today (January 7) launched SWB Click, its new online portal for brokers.
In response to feedback from brokers, SWB Click is now available to all Scottish Widows Bank clients.
SWB Click offers online registrations and re-registrations for new and existing brokers and broker assistants.
Online illustrations, decisions in principle and full applications for home purchases, remortgages and further advances are also available via the portal.
Clients can use the portal to manage full applications through to completion, including updated case and valuation statuses.
Documents can be uploaded via the portal allowing supporting information to be uploaded as soon as an application is submitted.
A shortened application for product transfers is also available.
Gary McGregor, head of Scottish Widows Bank, said: "We're always looking for ways to develop new technology to improve our service and to make it easier for brokers to work with us.
"The pilot of SWB Click has been a great success, and we are now excited to make the service available more widely.
“The technology will give brokers a quick and easy-to-use system that builds on our great service."
Lawrence Robbin, mortgage broker at A Mortgage Now, said: "Scottish Widows Bank has moved straight to the top of the charts with its new online mortgage service. SWB Click is clear, intuitive and quick."
