Trigold & Equifax offer brokers exclusive Credit Rating deal for clients.

Trigold and Equifax have extended their proposition for brokers with the launch of an exclusive discount on the Equifax Credit Rating for Trigold users to pass on to their clients. Normally £14.95, clients of Trigold users will have access to the Equifax Credit Rating for just £8.25 providing them with a valuable insight into their credit information and credit score.

Equifax is the leading provider of instant online credit information and the integration of its credit reports and ratings with the Trigold system enables pre-population of client data from the sourcing system directly into the client’s credit rating application. The Equifax Credit Rating, which includes the individuals’ credit file and credit score, is easy to understand and offers explanations and advice, giving brokers’ clients instant on-line results.

In today’s market of constantly changing products and criteria, the necessity for brokers to be able to establish a client’s current and comprehensive credit rating is imperative.

The link offers clients a quick and easy way to obtain their Equifax Credit Rating, which helps ensure that information contained within their mortgage application is up to date and accurate, enabling brokers to give their clients the highest possible standard of service.

David Aylmer, marketing and business development director of Trigold, comments,

"Mortgage advisors appreciate the fact that starting the advice procedure with all of the pertinent details to hand makes for a faster and more robust sales process. Now, with the Equifax Credit Rating, the process is even easier, instant and more efficient. The net result is that advisors can remove the possibility of surprises cropping up halfway through the process, which means they will no longer waste time and effort mistakenly recommending and applying for mortgage products that will inevitably be refused due to forgotten debts.”

Neil Munroe, external affairs director at Equifax, says:

“We were keen to build on the success of our continued association with Trigold as the leading mortgage sourcing provider. Consumers often don’t realise that the information on their credit file will have a direct impact on their ability to secure a good mortgage deal so it’s crucial to ensure this is accurate and up to date. By providing Trigold users’ clients with access to their Equifax Credit Rating this will enable the individual and their broker to ensure that they are in the best possible position to get the mortgage deal they want.”
