Dear Partner,

 

I am thrilled to share with you a landmark moment in our journey: Belmont Green has officially received authorisation to become a fully licenced bank, and we are now known as Vida Bank. This transformation signifies more than just a name change, it heralds a new era of growth, innovation, and enhanced services that will allow us, in partnership with you, to help more people find a place to call home.

Most importantly, I want to affirm our unwavering commitment to the intermediary market. Our transition to Vida Bank allows Vida Homeloans to expand our offering and deliver even greater value. We will soon launch a refreshed mortgage proposition tailored to strengthen our collaboration and drive mutual success.

Vida Homeloans' core mission remains unchanged: to be the specialist in specialist lending, providing exceptional, 5-star service. You and your clients can continue to rely on the highest standards of support with direct access to underwriters. Delivering personalised and efficient service is, and always will be, our top priority.

Becoming a bank also propels us onto a path of accelerated growth and allows us to be even more competitive. This new chapter enables us to offer more competitive pricing, expand our product range, and reward our partners appropriately for their efforts.

In the spirit of growth, we are also expanding into retail deposits. Vida Savings launches on the 5th December, initially with a Fixed Rate Bond and we have ambitious plans to introduce a range of competitive savings products providing UK savers with more choice and growing our market presence.

Today of all days though is about saying “Thank You”.

Thank you to the exceptional team at Vida for their dedication and hard work, thank you to you, our partners, for your continued support and thank you to the regulators for their support throughout the licence application process. The trust placed in us by you all has been instrumental in reaching this milestone. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to upholding the highest standards in all that we do.

I can’t wait to see where this step takes us all.

Warm regards,


Anth Mooney
