Coventry Building Society, the UK’s second largest building society, has joined Mortgage Brain’s new Submissions Brain platform.
The lender becomes the seventh to integrate with the system, alongside Halifax, Nationwide, Santander for Intermediaries, TSB, Accord Mortgages and Leeds Building Society, with further additions planned into 2026.
Submissions Brain, officially unveiled at Mortgage Brain’s recent VIP client event, introduces the first standardised Decision in Principle (DIP) form across participating lenders.
The system allows brokers to capture and submit client data for residential mortgages to multiple lenders using one form and one login, with lenders able to return decisions automatically through the platform.
Development is already underway to extend this functionality to buy-to-let cases.
The platform can be used in three ways: as a standalone tool via the Mortgage Brain Hub, through CRM Brain – Mortgage Brain’s new cloud-based CRM system – or via API integration with third-party CRM platforms.
Brokers benefit from a simplified process that eliminates the need to navigate multiple lender systems, saving time and improving workflow efficiency.
Kevin Purvey, director of mortgage distribution at Coventry Building Society, said: “We’re really pleased to be joining this platform, making it even easier for brokers to work with us.
“Having everything in one place saves valuable time and removes a lot of paperwork – which means brokers can focus on supporting their clients.
“Once brokers have their decision in principle in place, they can come straight to our intermediary website to complete the application – making it a smooth, simple process.
“Brokers can use it for residential applications right away, and we’ve already started on the work to get it rolled out to buy-to-let cases soon. It’s another step forward in giving brokers the tools and support they need.”
Neil Wyatt, sales and marketing director at Mortgage Brain, added: “It has been great to have worked so closely with Coventry Building Society – working in collaboration to genuinely create a solution that works for everyone.
“Brokers have told us that existing solutions do not always deliver the benefits that they expect, taking time to understand these frustrations whilst also working to ensure that lenders can meet their own commercial and operational targets has been truly exciting.
“We were delighted to showcase the new Submissions Brain module last week and are delighted that Coventry Building Society is the first new lender added to complement those lenders that have worked closely with us to deliver this new streamlined journey.”
