Connect Mortgage Club
As of today, Connect Mortgage Club has rebranded as Connect for Intermediaries. This change aims to encapsulate the comprehensive array of services for intermediaries. It notably includes Connect’s specialised Buy to Let and Commercial Network. The network currently boasts 88 Appointed Representative firms. The new name signifies a broader commitment to serving diverse intermediary needs across various financial landscapes.
The name change shifts the burden of ensuring FCA compliance primarily to the network. This shift gives business owners confidence that their operations align with regulatory requirements. It ensures a robust framework that meets and exceeds FCA standards. This grants businesses peace of mind that their operations fully adhere to regulatory guidelines.
Liz Syms, CEO at Connect for Intermediaries, commented.
“It is important that we present our service and product offerings clearly. The word ‘club’ in our industry has certain connotations. Having it in our name has caused brokers ambiguity regarding our services. This is obviously something we must avoid. Through our new name, ‘Connect for Intermediaries,’ we need to convey our proposition clearly.
We aim to support the whole broker community with our new name. This includes our network offering, packaging and distribution services. Our helpdesk provides specialist knowledge for UK and international client enquiries.
The specialist finance market is about to enter a new dawn of regulation. Now seems the most appropriate time to make this change. Mortgage brokers are central to our business, and we want to best support them. We have forged great relationships as Connect Mortgage Club.”
We look forward to reaching out and building many more as Connect for Intermediaries.
