Ozgur Unlu, chief executive at 360 Dotnet, welcomed Smith’s addition to the company’s growing team.
“Our relationship with our partners and users is key to continued innovation and delivering great customer outcomes as efficiently and compliantly as possible. David is uniquely placed having strong relationships and experience in both wealth and lending fintech markets,” Unlu said.
Chris Tanner, HLPartnership’s chief executive, also believes that Smith is a great hire for 360, having known him personally for the past decade.
“360 Dotnet has been a key fintech partner of ours since 2015. Together, we will continue to drive better outcomes for our advisers and customers through the continued innovation of technologies. I can’t wait to get working closely with David again,” Tanner said.
For his part, Smith expressed enthusiasm in the prospect of further strengthening 360’s collaboration with partners and users.
“The fintech sector is at the beginning of a new era in technology, and with more data flow available through partners’ open APIs, the opportunity to streamline and collaborate is bigger than ever right now,” he said.
“360 Dotnet has established itself as an innovative fintech solution when it launched the UK’s first interactive Client Portal, which has over 150,000 users. With over £215 billion of lending having flowed through the platform, that gives us a huge advantage when it comes to data sharing.”
