Sesame upgrades technology

Sesame's network members will have free access to Mortgage Brain's Point of Sale (POS) technology when the roll out begins in March.

The addition of 'The Key' will help Sesame's advisers improve their business efficiency and compliance capabilities, whilst delivering an enhanced service to their clients.

The Key covers all the Financial Services Authority's (FSA's) requirements for compliance, allowing advisers to control the entire mortgage application process from initial contact and fact-find, through to sourcing, client management and integration with insurers and conveyancers.

Sesame is now working with Mortgage Brain to tailor The Key so that it is bespoke to its advisers’ requirements.

John Cupis, Sesame’s head of mortgages and general insurance, said: “Mortgage advisers are facing increasing regulatory scrutiny and the prospect of a tougher housing market in 2008, so the benefits of embedding technology in order to enhance business efficiency are more compelling than ever. We have chosen an industry-led solution that has been developed by advisers, for advisers."
