“We are breaking new ground, and our focus is on connecting best of breed technology rather than building a single solution.

Neil Stevens, Joint CEO

"Quality management team and secular growth. There is a real blueprint about how this business is building up a platform for the IFA market"

"We are trying to complete a connected platform for the intermediary market, giving advisers everything they need to do their job. A big part of that has been internal development and acquiring the talent, systems and capabilities through acquisition (...).

That combination of delivering what we said we would do in the market financially, putting our capital to work and acquiring great businesses has resulted in a really good period for us."

Matt Timmins, Joint CEO

“There’s no other solution like ifaDASH currently available, and there’s a clear and genuine gap for it in the sector. The increased visibility and transparency ifaDASH offers to a heavily regulated market will prove immensely valuable for advisers, particularly since the implementation of the Consumer Duty. 

Offering advisers more streamlined efficiency and less admin and risk aligns perfectly with our objectives to deliver better financial outcomes to more consumers, and we’re excited about ifaDASH’s next steps as part of Fintel.”

Neil Stevens, Joint CEO

“Our new distribution agreement with Mortgage Brain will enable our members to access Mortgage Brain’s leading mortgage sourcing and submission software as part of our integrated platform. 

Our investment in Mortgage Brain will provide a significant cash injection to continue Mortgage Brain’s product transformation, bringing its solutions to the cutting edge of the industry and providing even greater efficiency to its customers, including Fintel’s members.”

Neil Stevens, Joint CEO

“2023 has been a defining year for Fintel. We have delivered a resilient financial performance and significant progress against our strategy, which balances growth across our core activities, organic investment and complementary M&A.

In the new financial year to date, we are trading in line with expectations and remain well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in our market.”

Matt Timmins, Joint CEO

“We are confident of delivering further progress in the year ahead as we continue to scale our proposition, realise our very active M&A pipeline and invest in our service and technology platform, with our growth underpinned by recuring incomes and positive structural market drivers.”
