Connect for Intermediaries Strengthens Panel with Addition of StreamBank

Connect has strengthened its lending panel with the addition of StreamBank, a lender that brings together the stability of a fully regulated bank with the agility of a specialist bridging provider.

StreamBank has been active in bridging for over five years and, since February 2023, has operated as a fully regulated, self-funded bank. The lender is known for its common-sense approach to decision making, dedicated underwriting, and rapid turnaround times of between one and four days.

The partnership will give Connect’s appointed representatives access to StreamBank’s broad bridging proposition, covering both regulated and unregulated markets. Products span residential, semi-commercial, commercial and development bridging, with loan sizes from £100,000 up to £3 million and terms of up to 18 months. StreamBank also offers several tailored product lines, including StreamLine for higher-value residential cases, FastStream for auction purchases and fast completions, and StreamEdge, which combines sharp pricing with a £1,000 legal fee contribution.

Roz Cawood Managing Director, Property Finance at StreamBank, commented:
“We are excited to be joining the Connect panel and bringing our fresh, flexible approach to a wider adviser audience. Our aim has always been to combine the strength of being a bank with the speed and pragmatism that brokers need in today’s bridging market. By working in close partnership with advisers and assigning a dedicated underwriter to every case, we ensure deals progress quickly and smoothly.”

Jane Benjamin, Mortgage Director at Connect, added:
“StreamBank’s addition to our panel is excellent news for our ARs. Their ability to deliver both regulated and unregulated bridging, their commitment to service, and their focus on pragmatic lending solutions will be hugely valuable to advisers working on complex or time-sensitive cases.”

The addition of StreamBank further enhances the depth and diversity of Connect’s panel, reinforcing the network’s commitment to giving advisers access to lenders that combine innovation with reliability. By welcoming a bank that is both fully regulated and self-funded, Connect underlines its focus on supporting advisers with lending partners that can deliver practical solutions in a fast-moving market.
