The Altrincham-based bridging lender first made contact with Safe4 in April as a result of its selection of IT Farm as its chosen provider of cloud-hosting services to support its line-of-business applications.

IT Farm and Safe4 have collaborated with other customers in the past and Mint needed a secured cloud platform to handle the documentation associated with its lending functions and selected Safe4 to provide this service.

Mint began using Safe4 in July and commenced the process of scanning and uploading some of its case documentation backlog.

Safe4 will be used to handle the ongoing take-on of new lending cases and will allow Mint to reduce its paper-handling activities. 

“Safe4 allows Mint to make extensive use of cloud-based IT services, and is consistent with our policy of ensuring that confidential client information is handled as securely as possible,” said Paul Wertheim, director of Mint Bridging.

“It also allows us to achieve some operational efficiencies that will support our continuing rapid growth.  

“We look forward to working with Safe4 as we go forward, and potentially to making more extensive use of the range of capabilities that their product offers.”

Ben Martin, director of Safe4 Information Management, said it welcomed the chance to engage with a growing business.

“Mint Bridging has made a conscious move towards the use of cloud-based services, as this offers greater resilience and heightened security in the management of extremely confidential client information.  

“They also interact extensively with law firms who provide supporting services.  

“We are confident that our relationship with Mint Bridging will prosper as each of our businesses grows in the coming years.”
