Keychain launches bridging and commercial workflows
19 June 2025
Keychain, the digital client platform for property finance advisers, has today launched specialist bridging and commercial workflows.
This makes its platform fully suitable for brokers and firms operating solely in the specialist finance market, as well as those also offering mainstream mortgage and protection advice.
The new workflows include dynamic fact-finds tailored specifically to bridging and commercial transactions. These enable firms to streamline data capture and document collection for complex property finance cases.
Keychain provides firms with their own fully branded client platform, where customers can complete fact-finds, share documents, and e-sign agreements from one platform and on any device. The platform significantly reduces the time advisers and admin teams spend on collecting case files by automating client chasing and using AI to check uploaded documents and flag areas for further investigation.
This launch means that Keychain’s platform can now be used as a dedicated solution for bridging and commercial-only advisers, as well as by firms offering a full range of advice across residential, buy-to-let, protection, bridging, and commercial finance.
Jack Rogers, CEO of Keychain, said:
“Bridging and commercial cases are among the most admin-heavy and time-pressured transactions in the market. Advisers need tools that are specifically built for these transactions, as legacy systems designed around the vanilla residential and BTL mortgage market just aren’t up to the job.
We have expanded our platform, already used by hundreds of advisers in the residential and buy-to-let space, to give specialist finance firms a modern platform that genuinely makes their day-to-day lives easier.”
Existing Keychain users have welcomed the new bridging and commercial functionality:
Mike Ward of MWMS commented:
“Since MWMS started using Keychain, it’s been a real game changer for our business. When providing bridging and commercial products, we are often required to provide an extensive but tailored request for documents. Keychain makes this process simple, fast, and efficient.”
Ashley Morley of Compare the Mortgage said:
“The expansion of Keychain into bridging and commercial is fantastic news. These cases are often admin-heavy and time-sensitive. Having a platform that can be used entirely for specialist finance, or alongside a wider advice proposition, gives firms huge flexibility and efficiency gains.”
Mark Calvert of Park Hill Financial added:
“Collecting data and documents for a commercial or bridging case can be very time-consuming, and this really does remove a lot of the headache from the process. If I was designing a fact-find and portal system, this is exactly how I would make it.”
Keychain’s client platform is already used by a wide range of firms, from specialist bridging and commercial brokers to mortgage and protection advisers. It is suitable for firms of all sizes, from solo advisers to large practices.
