C&G uses Trigold to link brokers and branches

The integration will allow the 12,500 subscribers of Trigold's Prospector Plus software to send Cheltenham & Gloucester applications and AIPs electronically to a branch of their choice.

C&G will benefit from electronic delivery of cases while maintaining the strong relationships that exist between branches and intermediaries.

Cheltenham & Gloucester's sales director, Nick Hale, commented; "The planned integration is a step change for C&G electronically and it also supports the way in which increasing numbers of intermediaries like to do business with us. The relationship between our branches and their intermediaries is extremely strong and enabling them to deliver applications to us in an electronic format will strengthen this further.

"Trigold is the only mortgage sourcing provider flexible enough to adapt the system to allow intermediaries to select their own choice of any one of our 207 branches as the recipient of the application."

Bill Safran, joint managing director for Trigold, said: "Trigold recognised that mortgage software providers have to be incredibly flexible to thrive in today's market. We understand the strength of local relationships in C&G's intermediary distribution and by offering brokers the choice of selecting the branch they wish to deal with we are creating the best of both worlds."
