Intermediaries Hub

The Cumberland has announced the launch of its new broker portal, in partnership with Mast. It is designed to streamline the mortgage process for intermediaries on their panel.

You have led The Cumberland’s intermediary partnership drive since early 2023, following its launch in 2021, although you have worked at the mutual for many years. How did your experience prepare you for the broker launch?

The Cumberland for Intermediaries has come a long way since its formal launch in 2021. I’ve been with the society since 1997 in a variety of roles, but building out the vision and people involved in our intermediary brand has been a key career highlight so far.

The Cumberland has announced the launch of its new Affordability Calculator, designed to streamline the mortgage application process for brokers and enhance the efficiency of intermediary lending.

Last month The Cumberland Building Society was added to Mortgage Brain’s Sourcing and Criteria Brain platforms, seeing its range of home mover, first-time buyer and remortgage residential products made available to brokers across the building society’s core operating area.

As part of the growth of our Intermediary Lending Team, The Cumberland Building Society will now feature on two new sourcing systems: Twenty7tec and Mortgage Brain, making us even more accessible to the broker network.

A hardy band of well-meaning souls from the Commercial and Intermediary teams at The Cumberland spent their Halloween volunteering rather than chasing ghosts.

The Cumberland continues to develop its Intermediary lending team as its distribution channel expansion gathers momentum.
