Clydesdale Bank has reduced the minimum loan size threshold to access an underwriter directly, discuss and get agreement prior to submitting a full application.

If a broker has a new-business enquiry they can now speak directly to an underwriter for loans over £750,000.

Previously the lender required that it be more than £1m.

The change allows brokers to discuss more complex customer scenarios, whether that be a non-standard form of income, an unusual self-employed setup or more complex interest only needs.
