API partnership with Brickflow provides brokers with live rates and faster deal processing
NatWest has formed a partnership with Brickflow, a digital marketplace for commercial property finance, to offer embedded finance solutions through API integration.
The collaboration allows NatWest to provide brokers and their clients with direct access to live rates and real-time deal information via Brickflow’s Lender API.
The integration enables brokers to view and compare NatWest’s lending products within the Brickflow platform, streamlining the application process and reducing manual data entry. This digital approach is designed to improve efficiency and accelerate decision-making for property investors and developers, who increasingly begin their search for finance online rather than in branch.
“APIs are no longer optional – they’re essential infrastructure for modern lending,” commented Brickflow chief executive Ian Humphreys.
The partnership is expected to expand NatWest’s reach among digitally active brokers and borrowers, supporting the bank’s efforts to scale its presence in the commercial finance sector. Brickflow’s platform connects borrowers with a range of lenders, and the addition of NatWest is seen as further validation of its model.
“We’re proud to welcome NatWest to Brickflow,” said Glenn Franklin-Jones, director of lender relations at Brickflow. “This integration is about more than just technology — it’s the finance equivalent of last mile delivery and lenders recognising the benefits to modern methods of distribution.”
David Furnival, head of broker services at NatWest, said the partnership is “a step forward for brokers and their borrowers to easily connect with NatWest through Brickflow.”
“We’re always looking for new ways to better serve our customers, so we’re happy to partner with Brickflow to do just this,” he added.
