Tandem Bank teams up with LMS Panel Link
Challenger bank Tandem Bank has partnered with conveyancer and panel management specialist LMS Link, becoming the 34th lender to join its platform.
LMS offers a fully vetted, secure panel of conveyancing firms that meet Tandem Bank’s requirements in England and Wales.
LMS will also support the bank’s move into the first charge residential purchase space.
Tandem was launched in 2014 as one of the first digital challenger banks and aims to provide “greener, simple, transparent and fair mortgage and savings products”.
The lender obtained a full licence in 2018 and then bought Allium Lending Group, Harrods Bank, B&C Mortgages and Oplo.
Nick Chadbourne, CEO of LMS, said: “The aim of Panel Link is to help our clients make their conveyancing processes much more efficient. Improving efficiency not only makes life easier for them and reduces costs, but it also means they are better placed to help their customers at a time when many are having their home buying or remortgaging journeys impacted by the current economic climate.
