As a result Positive Lending will have access to OMS’s product sourcing, CRM system and full workflow solution.
OMS said that this partnership underlined growing demand across the market for an all-encompassing CRM system. It argues it is the only end-to-end CRM system which covers specialist areas like second charge, equity release, bridging and commercial, as well as residential and buy-to-let mortgages, alongside general insurance and protection.
Last year OMS processed 42,000 applications, which were worth a total of £9.3bn.
Neal Jannels, managing director of OMS, said that Positive Lending has been a real force across the specialist sector for many years, praising its approach to “customer-centric funding”.
He added: “As an early adopter of technology, it’s a privilege to have the opportunity to work closely with Paul and his team to further improve their tech capabilities and help support any future expansion plans.”
Paul McGonigle, chief executive of Positive Lending, said that technology within the mortgage market was “evolving at a rapid pace”.
“We have worked hard together to evolve the platform to meet our business needs and the team at OMS have delivered what I would argue to be the best multi product packager-based technology in the marketplace today,” he continued.
The Positive Lending tie-up follows applications growing by a quarter this year at OMS, while the firm has also brought in a new business partnership and growth director.
