We have been working closely with a group of intermediaries to understand what it is they want and need from a website, and we are proud to have stripped away to elements not required and simplify the elements they do.
This website represents a huge turning point, officially positioning the mortgage business as ‘Barclays’ (rather than Woolwich), with an obvious transition of brand look-and-feel. The website also uses the latest industry standards of URL strand functionality, removing the need for www. and .co.uk and ending simply with .barclays (intermediaries.uk.barclays).
We have also introduced a great deal of new functionality aimed at providing the best experience for your members, including:
- Live rate tables
- Simplified Lending Criteria
- Responsive design (mobile adaptive)
And, the site will act as a bridge to our new Intermediary Hub portal system, delivering a new way for the broker to manage and track their cases with Barclays, 24/7 on any device. Members can access the website by inputting intermediaries.uk.barclays into their browser, and not to worry, the new website will still be available by way of existing URLs:
www.barclays.co.uk/intermediaries
www.woolwichintermediaries.co.uk
This means members who’ve bookmarked the site will be able to continue using these with no change required.
