14 May 2021

Sesame Bankhall Group (SBG) has added Crystal Specialist Finance (CSF) as a distribution partner across it three advisory brands – Sesame Network, PMS Mortgage Club and Bankhall.

With immediate effect, the specialist distributor will assist over 10,000 Appointed Representatives of Sesame Network and Directly Authorised individuals who are supported by PMS Mortgage Club and Bankhall.

CSF will operate across its six core specialist sectors, namely Bridging, Buy to Let Mortgages, Commercial, Development Finance, Second Charge Loans and Specialist Residential.

The business will also take a proactive role in offering experience, knowledge, training and support to the Sesame Bankhall Group Mortgage Desk and the individual brand’s sales and marketing teams to enable them to deliver specialist solutions to their advisors and clients alike.

Jo Breeden, Managing Director at CSF, said: “SBG has spoken about an environment that will be defined by changing consumer needs, behaviours and engagement. This is especially true in the specialist finance market where the UK has a growing number of consumers who no longer fit the traditional criteria of high street lenders and require more tailored solutions.

“SBG has seen the opportunity to add even more value to the intermediary market and has chosen us following a thorough examination of our people, products, technology and service levels, all of which I will say are second-to-none. We will do our utmost to enable their advisors to provide support and solutions that delivers the best possible answer to every client’s financial requirements.”

Stephanie Charman, Head of Strategic Relationships – Lender, said: “Here at Sesame Bankhall Group we see the post-pandemic landscape providing opportunities for advisers in all sectors of specialist lending.

“We are delighted that Crystal Specialist Finance have joined our panel as the support and education they provide will only assist with enhancing our current offering and be of real benefit to our advisers. We look forward to building a long-term partnership with Jo and the team.”
