ISCOVER
The aggregator has bolstered its lender panel with fresh additions in response to market conditions and growing trends.
Major aggregation group Connective has welcomed two new lenders to its panel, following the recent additions of low-deposit loan provider OwnHome and non-bank business lender Aquamore.
Connective brokers will now also be able to write loans from commercial lender GCI and asset finance specialist Asset Financier.
GCI specialises in fast funding for business growth and property acquisitions, according to Connective, while Asset Financier offers funding to a range of equipment and business assets.
The aggregator said these latest additions come in response to market trends such as a shift towards non-banks in commercial lending and a growing number of businesses seeking asset financing.
Brokers within Connective’s network will also be able to access no-clawback commission structures (where applicable), specialised loan scenario support, and access to tailored finance options that align with market demands, according to the aggregator.
Speaking on these latest additions, Mark Haron, Connective’s executive director, said these loan products would help ensure brokers are equipped to meet the diverse and changing needs of clients.
“The market conditions today require innovative and flexible lending solutions, especially as we see a growing demand for asset finance, commercial loans, and tailored residential options,” Haron said.
“With the addition of OwnHome, GCI, Aquamore, and Asset Financier, we can offer our brokers an expanded toolkit of financial products that directly address the evolving needs of clients.
“This enables our brokers to stay ahead of market shifts and provide timely, relevant solutions to their customers, which is crucial in today’s fast-moving lending environment. As businesses and home owners continue to look for flexible and fast solutions, these new partnerships will help brokers offer the tailored, competitive lending strategies their clients need.”
Updates at Connective
These lender additions form the latest in a series of updates Connective has rolled out to its broker proposition in 2025.
Earlier this year, Connective offered its brokers a glimpse at its 2025 roadmap, unveiling a number of technology updates to its Mercury Nexus customer relationship management (CRM) platform.
Mercury Nexus updates included AI-powered automation and its Financial Passport, harnessing NextGen’s open banking technology.
Chin Hui Yeo, Connective chief technology officer, said the innovations were designed to keep brokers ahead of the curve.
“Mercury Nexus is built to evolve alongside brokers, integrating AI, Open Banking, and enhanced client engagement tools to help them work smarter, not harder,” Yeo said.
“Our roadmap ensures brokers have cutting-edge technology at their fingertips to deliver an outstanding client experience.”
