Pepper announces imminent rebrand and new mortgages portal

Specialist lender Pepper Homeloans has announced that it will change its name to Pepper Money and will also be launching a new broker portal in the very near future.

“The name change is the final phase of a global rebranding exercise for the Pepper Group,” said Colin Snowdon, managing director of Pepper Homeloans. “In future, all consumer finance products including mortgages will be marketed under the Pepper Money brand.”

He added: “In the UK we will continue to distribute our products exclusively via intermediaries and our new mortgage portal will make it easy for brokers to submit and track their clients’ mortgage applications online.”

Director of sales at Pepper Homeloans, Rob Barnard, commented: “We’ve taken the opportunity over the summer months to enhance and evolve the way in which we present our products to brokers, our submission and service procedures, together with our branding and marketing activities. We will be providing brokers with full details in the near future, so watch this space.

“I can guarantee, however,” he continued, “that some things won’t change, such as the way in which our skilled underwriters individually assess every application rather than relying on remote credit scoring systems.”

“It’s an exciting time for Pepper and I believe these changes provide a solid basis for our future growth."
