RE: BREAKING NEWS - CAPITA HAS SOLD [OPTIMA LEGAL] to PEXA Group8 Sep 2022 13:02
Thanks Culley01,
I knew that you were very switched on and that you only needed some hard facts and figures to work out a near enough amount to that undisclosed amount. Sorry for my repetitive words. It's all needed for better understanding; I guess. (^_^).
Anyhow, the Pexa Group hasn't lost one day whilst the await be approval of their purchase of Optima Legal remortgage firm.
Read here what Pexa has already started doing with Capita Optima Legal remortgage platform.
The Pexa Group has of yesterday 7th September, begun the integration of their remortgage Platform software into the system of Hinckley & Rugby Building Society who was the first lender to use this system to serve a digital remortgage alongside law firm Muve, completing the process “in minutes, rather than days,” according to PEXA.
The process saw lender and law firm deal with both the financial settlement and the application for registration with HM Land Registry.
PEXA says that Shawbrook Bank will be offering this service next.
Additionally, with the Bank of England, it has developed a payment scheme for use in remortgages, named PEXA Pay, which has recently completed its testing phase.
PEXA UK chief executive James Bawa comments: “The acquisition of Optima Legal marks a significant step forward for PEXA in the UK and demonstrates the strength of our commitment to delivering transformational change that will benefit consumers, conveyancers and lenders alike.
“We look forward to working with the Optima Legal team to integrate our technology, showcasing the benefits of digitisation – from improved accuracy and efficiency to reduced costs. Importantly, our platform will remain available to all.
“Working with stakeholders across the industry, and starting with remortgaging, we aim to streamline a conveyancing system that has been under significant pressure.
“One in five borrowers have abandoned the remortgage process in the past two years, given delays, complexity or poor experiences. We want to make that is a thing of the past as interest rates rise.
“This announcement complements the confirmation of our first two lenders to go live – Hinckley & Rugby Building Society, our first reference site with a strong track record of supporting new technology entrants into the UK, and Shawbrook Bank, our first retail bank.”
