Will Fraser, National Sales Manager at Standard Life Bank commented: "Feedback from our key distribution partners is that consumers are currently more receptive to shorter term products. Our award winning mortgages and our flexible proposition enables Standard Life Bank to offer short-term benefits coupled with long-term value.

"From the intermediaries’ perspective service is still a key factor when recommending a lender. Yet again Standard Life Bank is responding to the needs of intermediaries and their customers through its product range. Our market leading servicing proposition, including direct access to senior underwriters, provides intermediaries with the level of support they require from a lender to help them deliver a first class service and differentiate them from the high street propositions," he said.
