Acre integrates full Nationwide mortgage application process into its CRM

Mortgage platform Acre announced an upgrade to its integration with Nationwide Building Society, allowing brokers to submit full mortgage applications directly through the Acre CRM without using Nationwide’s online portal.

The update brings the entire mortgage application workflow into Acre’s system for the first time, reducing the need to rekey data and speeding up the submission process. According to the company, the enhancement can save brokers up to 20 minutes per case, on top of the 15 minutes already saved through the existing decision in principle integration between Acre and Nationwide.

The time savings come from automatically populating the additional information required for a full mortgage application using data already captured in Acre’s fact find.

“At Acre we strive to be the ultimate partner for brokers for the mortgage journey, delivering new ways to help them save valuable time and money and get their clients into their homes quicker than ever before. The ongoing work we are doing with Nationwide is a direct reflection of this and indicates where we see the future of mortgage technology heading – driving us towards a one-click mortgage application.” – Reuben Thompson, Acre’s vice president of product innovation.

“This is a great milestone to achieve, brought about through collaboration at pace. Making it simpler for brokers and saving them time remain key objectives for us. Whilst this is fantastic news, we are not resting on our laurels and will be continuing to make further enhancements to benefit brokers.” – Andy Tilsley, Nationwide’s Head of Intermediary Digital.
