Danske Bank has joined Openwork’s lender panel with immediate effect.
The addition of the Copenhagen-headquartered bank, which serves personal and business customers in Northern Ireland, will provide Openwork advisers with access to the lender’s mortgage products for first-time buyers, remortgagers, and home movers.
The move follows the recent addition of Tesco Bank to the network’s panel, announced in August 2016.
Paul Shearman, mortgage proposition director at Openwork, said: “We are delighted to welcome Danske Bank to our Northern Ireland lending panel. Openwork has more than 120 advisers in Northern Ireland and Danske Bank’s team of experienced Belfast-based underwriters with excellent knowledge of the local market will add even more options for advisers and their clients.”
Niall Harkin, head of intermediary mortgages at Danske Bank, added: “Openwork has a strong reputation and long history in the financial advice marketplace and we are delighted to have their advisers on board.
“We see this as an important strategic step in the development of our intermediary offering, and look forward to growing our leading proposition with Openwork in this sector.”
