Since TRINON, another Inter-Alliance brand, is authorised through Sage this means that effectively two of the Group’s Mortgage Networks can now approach their respective markets with even more confidence than before.
Commenting on the FSA approval Helen Davis, Distribution Development Director, said, “This is great news for both Sage and TRINON. We can now go ‘full steam ahead’ and recruit into Sage targeting IFAs who also give mortgage advice and TRINON where the focus is on mortgage and GI specialists. Both propositions feature an “all of market” lending panel and this is stimulating a huge amount of interest.”
Stuart Wilson, Mortgage Development Director, added, “I am convinced that many mortgage advisers wanting to be ARs have held back from making a firm commitment whilst network approval from the FSA was outstanding. Now we have that approval we can process applications for real and start arranging the necessary training courses."
With more than 1200 Advisers across the Group, Inter-Alliance is already a significant distributor of mortgages and is also positioning itself to address the General Insurance Market with a comprehensive offering.
