Masthaven enters API partnership with Specialist Mortgage Group

Through the partnership, Masthaven's second charge products will now be available on SMG’s Lenderlink application platform

Masthaven says it plans to roll out its API connection to more broker firms this year.

Jon Hall, managing director at Masthaven, said: “APIs are promising to completely transform the mortgage industry and we are already seeing the positive impact of these through the likes of auto-filling technology and real-time case tracking. Our link-up with SMG is testament to Masthaven’s ongoing commitment to embrace technology within the sector to provide second charge products to an audience as wide as possible.

“Whilst we recognise the power of technology, we don’t ever undermine the importance of human intelligence. Tech allows the specialist lending sector to complete tasks smartly and with speed, but real people will always lie at the heart of the market.”

Matt Cottle, CEO of Specialist Mortgage Group, added: “We are excited to be working with a leading lender in the specialist mortgage sector and are confident Masthaven’s second charge products will be popular amongst intermediaries. It’s great to see the power of APIs really starting to make a difference in the market and we look forward to seeing more of these capabilities utilised in due course.”
