Skinkers enhance Nationwide’s intermediary business
Skinkers and Nationwide Building Society today announced the launch of an innovative application that delivers vital product information and updates to intermediaries’ desktops. The service is called ‘Nationwide Express’ and was built using Skinkers information broadcast technology which enables the delivery of priority information with visibility and impact.
Operating in a competitive market, Nationwide has to provide intermediaries with rapid availability of product updates. ‘Nationwide Express’ can deliver the latest product news directly to desktops, enabling the intermediary to provide the Society’s market leading product information to their customers. Messages include new product announcements, service enhancements and lending criteria changes. Intermediaries can download Nationwide Express from www.nationwide.co.uk/intermediaries/nationwide_express.htm
Matteo Berlucchi, Skinkers CEO, commented: “Our information broadcast technology enables organisations to push business critical information to their audiences, improving the bottom line by dramatically reducing ‘noise’ while increasing agility.”
Peter Leydon, divisional director of prime intermediary lending at Nationwide, said: “It is crucial that intermediaries have easy access to accurate and up to date product information. By using Skinkers we have turned the desktop into a highly visible communication channel that will increase our competitive advantage.”
