Bank of Ireland for Intermediaries has agreed its fourth partnership with a large network, extending its offering to 1,000 Sesame Network mortgage advisers.
The move follows its pilot in December last year through estate agency chains Reeds Rains, Your Move and Embrace Mortgage Services after a successful trial run in Northern Ireland.
The lender launched with First Complete in February 2015, Openwork in March and Intrinsic in July this year.
Alison Pallett, director of sales, UK mortgages, at Bank of Ireland UK (pictured), said “This partnership adds another top performing network of mortgage advisers offering our products to their customers.
“Working with the very best brokers has always been our key goal, and it is a source of great pride that we can name Sesame as one of our trusted partners across the UK.
John Cupis, MD, mortgages at Sesame Bankhall Group, said he was pleased to form the partnership.
“Together with Bank of Ireland for Intermediaries we are well placed to meet this requirement, and our intention is to build on this collaboration over the coming years.”
