Abbey, one of Zurich's longest established mortgage partners, has been promoted to the Zurich Premier Panel, an exclusive group of just eight leading lenders, with whom Zurich works extremely closely to develop unique lending propositions.
Abbey is already well known to Zurich's 4,000 network members for its flexible mortgage products. As part of the Premier Panel, Abbey will be undertaking a number of joint initiatives, including exclusive deals with Zurich, which will be revealed later this year.
Richard Coulson, Director of Zurich Mortgage Network said: "Abbey has been delivering a very strong proposition to our advisers for a long time. As we have worked more closely together over the years, our partnership has evolved very successfully. Abbey has proved to be a valuable lender on the wider panel, and we feel now is the right time for promotion to the 'premier league'."
Ambrose McGinn, Direct of Abbey for Intermediaries, said: "We are very pleased to be working even more closely with Zurich and we look forward to developing joint initiatives which will provide intermediaries with solutions which are tailored to meet their clients' needs."
