“Last week, we launched our new centralised decisioning unit, V-Hub, which gives intermediaries direct access to dedicated underwriters who will help them with every type of query from pre-application through to complex case management and completions,” Helen Cawthra (pictured), head of intermediary relationships at Vida Homeloans, said.
“This week, we are further strengthening our proposition with reductions across our entire product range, giving brokers attractive options to discuss with their clients.”
The products are now available via Vida’s broker portal and on sourcing systems.
