Accord offers adverse clients a direct route back onto a prime product if they make all their monthly payments on time, something which Optoma believes will be of great interest to its brokers.
Todd Bates, products & marketing co-ordinator at Optoma said of the partnership: "The prognosis for 2008 has now become clear, and the reality is that it's going to be a challenging year for all involved in the mortgage industry.
"While recent months have seen many lenders lean away from sub-prime lending, Accord continues to compete actively in this market with it's foundations set in strong building-society backing."
