Tanya Elmaz, director of intermediary sales at Together, said: “We’re pleased to be able to provide even more support through rate reductions across many of our personal finance products.
“At Together, we are keen to show that we maintain a healthy appetite for lending despite the economic turbulence the market has experienced over the past couple of years. Our reduction of rates demonstrates this commitment.”
She continued: “We’ve listened to feedback from our intermediary partners and made changes in line with what they need. Common-sense lending is at the heart of our ethos at Together, and our customers and partners are key to every decision we make.
“We’ve been opening doors for our customers for 50 years now, and remain dedicated to helping them achieve their property ambitions. Our goal is to become the UK’s most valued lender, and we will continue to make decisions based on our customer’s needs.”
Last month, Together launched a £150m development securitisation facility.
