Acre’s end-to-end intermediaries platform demonstrates the future of mortgage technology

13 June 2022: Acre, the innovative end-to-end mortgage intermediaries platform, has made its integration with Iress Lender Connect available to give mortgage brokers free, full access to lenders, such as TSB, Aldermore, Leeds and Accord. By bringing Iress Lender Connect into the platform, Acre will now help brokers deliver “decision in principle” (DIP) and accelerate lending to qualified borrowers.

With its innovative technology, Acre is enhancing the value it provides to brokers at each step of the mortgage process. Acre’s unique verification system, which collates and checks the case and client data required for each mortgage product, combined with Iress Lender Connect, which brings data directly into lender platforms, eliminates the timely process of rekeying data per decision in principle (DIP) or application. This game-changing integration means that the case, client, and product are kept in sync, removing the risk of broker error and offering the only one-click Decision in Principle process on the market.

Justus Brown, CEO and founder of Acre, said: “Service is the key differentiator for brokers and the use of good technology is what drives this. We’re blending our groundbreaking tech with Iress’s long expertise and central market position to bring the future of mortgage technology to brokers. Acre provides a tightly integrated, easy to use process for brokers that eliminates re-keying, promotes good compliance and sources great deals. With us, brokers save valuable time and money and their clients can get into their homes quicker than ever before.”

Acre’s system is a one-stop shop for brokers, giving them more time to focus on their clients’ needs and deliver better outcomes with less delays. Acre’s proprietary technology supports mortgage journeys in their entirety - from CRM, lead capture and sourcing to fact finding, recommendation and application - saving brokers time and money whilst promoting better compliance.

Iress Lender Connect helps mortgages move faster by using API technology to connect directly with lenders. By automatically populating up to 90% of a Decision-in-Principle and 60% of a full mortgage application, Lender Connect cuts down on rekeying, data is relayed seamlessly to lenders across the UK, and results in a better mortgage application process for everyone. It is available to all Acre users now and is free of charge. The integration is a significant development in Acre’s ambition to reduce the steps between clients and their dream homes. As Lender Connect continues to expand the lenders they support, the integration will be extended to those lenders as well at no cost.

Since coming to market last year, brokers using Acre have already helped over 10 000 homebuyers get their mortgage, and active brokers have been doubling every three months. To find out more about Acre or to sign up to a demonstration, please visit www.acresoftware.com
