Kensington initially launched E-KWIP, its intermediary portal, a month ago to Openwork ARs and has now fast-tracked a full introduction to all ARs.

The system will be launched to directly authorised intermediaries through its distribution partners in the coming weeks.

E-KWIP offers immediate decisions in principle and online applications, though the lender has reconfirmed its commitment to underwriting each case on its own merit.

Charles Morley, head of sales and product development at Kensington, said: “What is particularly pleasing is how robust the system has proven to be, which means we have been able to continue the roll-out to appointed representatives more quickly than we had anticipated.”
