DAs offered their own comparison site

The intermediary driven website will allow consumers the ability to access and search for a mortgage, life and conveyancing deal via the QuickQuote4u.com comparison platform.

TMA claims the website will alert intermediaries when a customer registers an enquiry from the website so they can make contact quickly in order to try and secure business.

TMA is the only mortgage club in the intermediary market to have formed a link with QuickQuote4u.com in this way.

Phil Whitehouse, head of TMA, said: “It has become increasingly evident that intermediaries have had to channel their energies across many other areas of financial services to fulfil the requirements of new and existing clients and open up new income streams.

“This new web-based facility enables any intermediary the ability to fight back at the price comparison websites and generate their own leads 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. Intermediaries can now truly compete in a cost effective way and potentially earn income even when their offices are normally closed.

“At TMA we have entered into this offering with a view to adding even more support and potential to our member’s offerings and to continue on our mission of making TMA the intermediaries mortgage club of choice.”

Nigel Hoath, managing director at QuickQuote4u.com, added: “We are pleased to join forces with TMA and look forward to supporting members in generating extra activity which will enable them to maximise conversions on products they can advise on in house as well as sharing income from online applications through a host of ancillary products.

“We believe launching this facility represents a great opportunity for DAs to have access to an innovative and interactive website. It is fully tailored to meet an intermediary’s requirements in a cost efficient manner by allowing customers to compare prices of a range of financial products.”
