Cardiff’s IE Hub announces partnership with Shawbrook to expand financial support options

FinTech Wales member IE Hub has announced a new partnership with Shawbrook, one of the UK’s leading specialist lenders.

Based in Cardiff, IE Hub will work across Shawbrook’s family of brands, including The Mortgage Lender, Bluestone Mortgages and JBR Capital, broadening its reach across the specialist finance market.

IE Hub enables customers to complete a single, secure digital financial assessment and share it with multiple creditors simultaneously, removing the need to repeat the same information to each lender separately.

The platform also helps customers identify opportunities to maximise their disposable income, providing a more complete picture of their financial position.

Gareth Llewelyn, Commercial Director at IE Hub, said: “We are really pleased to welcome Shawbrook’s brands to our network. Shawbrook is a highly regarded name in specialist lending and their adoption of IE Hub across multiple brands is a strong endorsement of what we have built.

“As we continue to grow, expanding across different financial product types is central to broadening our reach and impact. This partnership is a significant step in that journey.”

Leighton Grew, Collections Director at Shawbrook, added: “We believe the best customer outcomes come from combining the right technology with the expertise and judgement of our people. IE Hub is a good example of that philosophy in practice. It handles the administrative complexity of sharing financial information digitally and efficiently, freeing our colleagues to focus on what they do best: understanding individual circumstances and providing genuinely tailored support. We have been impressed by IE Hub’s progress and this felt like a natural fit for how we want to serve customers who need a little extra help.”

The partnership reflects growing demand among lenders for digital tools that improve customer outcomes while reducing friction.
