Smartr365 said this automation with NatWest, which is the third-largest mortgage lender in the UK by mortgage balances, according to UK Finance figures, is a “new benchmark for its brokers for efficiency and digital transformation”.
The automation is delivered through Smartr365’s native SmartrConnect functionality, which offers automated instant mortgage submissions. It allows users to source, submit and process at the touch of a button, according to the firm.
The “complete end-to-end automation” can be applied to residential purchases, including first-time buyer and homemover, remortgage applications, capital and interest repayments, employed and self-employed clients and sole and joint applications.
All NatWest personal mortgage products are available to UK mainland brokers registered with NatWest and “seamless access” has been built directly into the Smartr365 platform.
This expanded capability is live now and available to all eligible Smartr365 users with NatWest access.

Conor Murphy (pictured), CEO of Smartr365, said: “This isn’t just about integration – it’s about elimination. We’re eliminating duplication, errors, wasted time, and old ways of working. Brokers can go from fact find to mortgage submission with NatWest in a truly automated flow – no rekeying, no switching systems. This is the next leap forward in our mission to make mortgage distribution faster, smarter, and fully digital.”
Nadine Edwards, head of intermediary mortgages at NatWest Group, said: ‘Our new partnership with Smartr365 will streamline a number of processes for our brokers and customers.
“We are always considering ways that we can deepen our engagement with the broker community and this… move is evidence of this commitment. We look forward to NatWest brokers and customers benefitting from these innovative, automated services as we continue our digital transformation journey.”
Smartr365 has struck a number of key partnerships in the last few months, teaming up with Legal & General Mortgage Club to develop end-to-end digital mortgage solutions for brokers and integrating with Smart Currency exchange to streamline transactions with international clients.
The firm also launched a general insurance comparison panel with Uinsure and Paymentshield.
