Steve Barber, managing director at Bridging Finance Solutions, said: “We are constantly exploring new ways where technology can improve our business processes, opening and enhancing channels of communication.
“The introduction of Nivo’s mobile-based onboarding and servicing solution will speed up the process considerably, removing lengthy wait times typically associated with signature-driven documentation.
“While this approach is very much in its infancy, we have completed a number of applications and can see that an average application is taking some five minutes compared to hours when following a traditional route.”
