Acre brings full mortgage application process into CRM with Nationwide

12 March 2026

Brokers can now apply for a full mortgage application directly through Acre without going via Nationwide for Intermediaries.
Reduced time to application: Acre applies data gathered in the Fact Find to populate the full mortgage application, meaning it is ready to go in just a few clicks.
Nationwide is the first lender to introduce Acre’s upgraded functionality.

12 March 2026, London, UK: Acre, the innovative intermediary platform, has today announced an upgrade in its functionality with Nationwide which will give brokers the ability to submit full mortgage applications via Acre, bypassing the building society’s online portal and reducing the time needed for completion. This move by Acre marks the first time a CRM has brought the full mortgage application process into its system.

Acre’s enhancement with Nationwide reduces the timely process of rekeying data and speeds up the entire mortgage process - saving up to an additional 20 minutes per case (brokers already save up to 15 minutes through the existing Nationwide/Acre DIP integration). The time saved is due to the additional information required for Nationwide’s full mortgage application being pre-populated from Acre’s fact find.

Reuben Thompson, Acre's vice president of product innovation, said

“At Acre we strive to be the ultimate partner for brokers for the mortgage journey, delivering new ways to help them save valuable time and money and get their clients into their homes quicker than ever before. The ongoing work we are doing with Nationwide is a direct reflection of this and indicates where we see the future of mortgage technology heading - driving us towards a one-click mortgage application.”

Andy Tilsley, Nationwide’s Head of Intermediary Digital, said:

“This is a great milestone to achieve, brought about through collaboration at pace. Making it simpler for brokers and saving them time remain key objectives for us. Whilst this is fantastic news, we are not resting on our laurels and will be continuing to make further enhancements to benefit brokers.”
