Castle Trust Bank launches upgraded PULSE broker portal in conjunction with Finova

Castle Trust Bank has launched PULSE – a new upgraded application and processing platform for brokers.

PULSE, which stands for Providing Unbeatable Lending Service Every time, gives brokers the ability to obtain multiple and bespoke quotes on the same case, as well as instant pricing, terms and credit-backed DIP decisions.

The new portal will be quicker and easier for brokers to use, while additional internal operational enhancements and efficiencies have been introduced to further accelerate processing and the time taken between DIP and completion.

The PULSE portal has been developed in collaboration with Finova, the UK’s largest cloud-based mortgage and savings software provider, with whom Castle Trust Bank already has a long-standing, successful relationship. PULSE uses Finova’s cloud-based core banking system, Finova Lending.

Anna Lewis, Commercial Director at Castle Trust Bank, said:

“At Castle Trust Bank, we are continually striving for ways to enhance our award-winning bridging proposition and the launch of PULSE is a big step forward in the experience we deliver for brokers. The new platform offers a slick user journey, only asking pertinent questions and enabling brokers to obtain multiple quotes on the same case. It also delivers instant pricing, immediate terms and instant credit-backed DIP decisions.

“I really believe that the launch of PULSE, combined with our innovative product range, is going to be a game changing moment for any brokers involved in bridging lending.”
