Ben Thompson, MAB’s deputy chief executive, said: “Broadening our market to include products for the over 55s is an important part of our strategy and a logical extension to our proposition.

“This exclusive strategic alliance provides MAB brokers with a greater range of products to enable them to compete at the highest level.

Will Hale, chief executive of Key, said: “We are delighted to launch MAB later life which will see advisers supported with a range of services which includes access to a panel of market leading lenders. With more over-55s than ever before considering how they use their housing equity in retirement, this sector is set to go from strength to strength and we look forward to working closely with MAB to support these customers.”
