NatWest joins Brickflow
In a major step forward for digital transformation in commercial property finance, leading UK high street bank NatWest has partnered with Brickflow, the UK’s first digital marketplace for specialist commercial property finance. The partnership enables NatWest to connect directly with brokers and their borrowers via Brickflow’s Lender API, delivering live rates and real-time deal integration.
This move marks a significant milestone in embedded finance, with NatWest becoming the latest lender to adopt Brickflow’s technology, placing them front and centre where today’s borrowers start their journey: online.
“APIs are no longer optional – they’re essential infrastructure for modern lending.” — Ian Humphreys, CEO, Brickflow
Meeting Borrowers Where They Are — Online
Today’s property investors and developers don’t begin their finance search in branch, they start on search engines and broker led digital marketplaces like Brickflow. With live NatWest rates now available via Brickflow’s API, brokers and their borrowers gain fast, transparent access to funding, while NatWest benefits from a direct digital distribution channel.
Benefits of the Partnership
With live rates and deal integration now live, the collaboration delivers key advantages:
● Live product availability – Brokers can view and compare real-time NatWest rates and lending criteria directly within Brickflow.
● Improved efficiency – Reduces manual data entry and accelerates decision-making.
● Broader market reach – Enables NatWest to tap into digitally engaged brokers and borrowers to scale their lending presence across the commercial finance landscape.
The result? Faster decisions, more efficient lending, and a better borrower experience.
Why NatWest and Brickflow?
This partnership is a natural alignment between two organisations committed to innovation. For NatWest, it reflects a forward-thinking approach to distribution
and a growing focus on the specialist lending market. For Brickflow, it’s another validation of the platform’s power to connect quality borrowers with the UK’s leading lenders.
“We’re proud to welcome NatWest to 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.” — Glenn Franklin-Jones, director of lender relations, Brickflow
David Furnival, head of broker services at NatWest, said: “This is a step forward for brokers and their borrowers to easily connect with NatWest through Brickflow, quickly seeing live-rates and providing real-time deal integration.
