RELATIONSHIP SUPPORT

Here at the Cornerstone Network, we provide ‘live’ compliance on all cases submitted. This means advisers receive feedback on case submissions on the day of application.

This safety net ensures that each and every case has been checked for compliance standards and stays in line with the consumer duty principle, before clear and real time feedback is provided. This ensures cases always meet the necessary standards and also highlights any missed sales/referral opportunities. The Cornerstone Network helps to deliver the right outcome for your customer but also provides peace of mind to advisers.

Beyond compliance the team also deploy a proactive contact strategy aimed at suporting network members to take advantage of a range of opportunities and meet emerging challenges.

The Cornerstone Network maximise the value created by the Cornerstone Finance Group, Sesame Bankhall Group, and Acre partnership.

“Our aim is to be a proactive partner for advisory firms and our successful strategic relationship with Cornerstone is a shining example of this. We’re proud of the partnership we have forged, which has helped Cornerstone to expand its range of valuable services and support for advisers and open-up new relationships with lenders and providers. Cornerstone has flourished, and I fully expect this growth to continue as we work together and roll-out exciting new initiatives. At the forefront of this is our new strengthened technology proposition available through Acre, offering advisers an integrated and easy to use platform that gives them a one-stop-shop for all their mortgage and protection business and an enhanced experience, enabling them to better serve their customers”
– Richard Harrison, CEO at Sesame Bankhall Group

“The best networks we work with (and Cornerstone is one of the best) wrap their own unique and compelling proposition(s) around the strengths of their partners. From an Acre point of view this ensures that Cornerstone benefits from the continued development of a market leading platform but that the network proposition is always greater than the sum of its parts.”

– Robin Hyndley, Acre
