Sesame has added Handelsbanken to its lender panel, giving advisers access to the bank’s flexible underwriting and distinctive lending criteria.
This launch makes Sesame one of the first network partners for Handelsbanken, following sustained interest from advisers in the bank’s unique proposition.
The partnership reflects Sesame’s commitment to expanding choice and supporting advisers with differentiated solutions in a competitive market.
Toni Smith, distribution and marketing director at Sesame, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Handelsbanken to our lender panel.
“Their proposition enables them to serve a range of customers, including those who sit between high street banks and specialist lenders, offering advisers a valuable option for clients who don’t fit the mould.
“As a Proactive Partner for Life, we’re focused on helping advisers deliver great outcomes and build long-term value in their businesses, and this partnership is a strong step forward in that mission.”
Steve MacDonald, national head of intermediary business at Handelsbanken, said: “We’re excited to be partnering with Sesame and making our mortgage offering available to their advisers.
“Our focus on long-term relationships and local decision-making means we can support a wide range of client needs.
“We take the time to understand each case, and our flexible approach allows us to offer the right product at the right rate whoever the customer is, including those with complex income, unusual properties, sustainable ambitions – or who just value our personal approach.”
