The five HBOS mortgage brands – Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Intelligent Finance, Birmingham Midshires and TMB – have given clarity on the verification of product data held on sourcing systems:
Product Data Verification
All HBOS products will be clearly marked for ease of intermediaries use. HBOS expects this new system of product verification to be fully in place early in 2006.
KFI Guarantee From HBOS Websites
HBOS will continue to guarantee the online KFIs generated via its own web-based systems. This guarantee extends across the five mortgage brands.
Nigel Stockton, managing director of HBOS Intermediaries:
"We committed to work closely with the sourcing system industry to develop a compliant solution which delivers exactly what intermediaries need. I am delighted that, together with the industry leading sourcing systems, we have developed a very clear approach. Intermediaries can now access verified HBOS product data via their preferred route safe in the knowledge that it is accurate."
