Cornerstone Finance partners with platform developer Acre

Platform developer Acre has announced that Cornerstone Finance has become the latest broker to go live with its mortgage intermediaries platform.

Acre said its platform will help Cornerstone Finance Group’s network in handling a large and complex caseload of mortgage and protection advice by “streamlining the management of the business.”

This involves bringing elements such as a standard advice process, compliance, broker communications, management of appointed representatives (ARs), reporting, accounting, and regulatory filings together into one central place.

The software provider added that its platform’s ability to handle all of Cornerstone’s compliance needs for the 100-strong network of financial advisors is another factor why the broker network chose to partner with Acre.

“Such a prominent network choosing Acre as their technology partner demonstrates that our platform is able to support the advice journey for even the most complex organisations,” Justus Brown, founder and chief executive at Acre, remarked. “We welcome Cornerstone Finance Group into our growing network of brokers using our platform.”

Meanwhile, Cornerstone Finance expects that, with the use of Acre’s platform, its brokers can save significant admin time on fact finds, paperwork, and re-keying case data, allowing them to allot more time to helping clients source and close the best deals.

“We’ve built our business on delivering a great service to both our ARs and their clients, providing fast and friendly advice, and speedy lending decisions,” Michael Wayman, chief executive at Cornerstone Finance Group, said. “Adopting Acre’s platform means we can take a modern, tech-driven approach that represents the future of our industry.

“We can give our brokers more breathing room to listen to clients, facilitate better management of cases, and get people their dream home. What’s even better is that all the admin is taken care of by Acre’s tech – the compliance, the accounting, and more. It’s an exciting time for our business.”
