Precise, part of OSB Group, has released a mobile app for brokers in the specialist lending market, hailing it as the “first of its kind”.
The launch of the mobile app follows the recent rebranding of Precise, which saw the specialist lender drop ‘Mortgages’ from its name.
The app provides registered brokers with features that aim to save time and give them up-to-date information they can access using their mobile devices.
This includes customisable push notifications for case, product and criteria updates covering Precise’s residential, bridging and buy-to-let (BTL) ranges.
The Precise mobile app will also offer full case details, including timelines, and affordability calculators.
Additionally, brokers will be able to search for products and criteria.
The Precise mobile app has been developed following months of collaboration with technology services provider MagiClick and various teams across the OSB Group.
The group has received feedback from brokers throughout the development to ensure the app suits their needs.
Jon Hall, group managing director of mortgages and savings at OSB Group, said: “This is an immensely proud moment, not just for me but for the multiple teams across OSB Group and MagiClick, our technology partner, who have been working tirelessly over many months.
“It’s the first app that we’ve ever developed and launched end to end, and our pioneering vision was to deliver our intermediaries with a ‘virtual assistant’ through the app functions, so it’s extremely exciting to be launching a Precise app that does exactly that.”
Mark Lusted, CEO of MagiClick UK, added: “It has been a pleasure to work with OSB Group to deliver one of the first apps designed specifically for specialist finance brokers. Apps via mobile devices are ubiquitous for most customer journeys now, and this app will enable brokers to harness this technology to continue to deliver great service to their customers.”
