Recognise Bank Joins BDLA as Lender Member

Recognise Bank has become a lender member of the Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA), joining over 50 other lenders. The bank stated that this move demonstrates its commitment to the bridging finance market and to the brokers and property professionals it serves.

Luke Watson, director of intermediary sales and lending at Recognise Bank, described bridging as an important and growing part of the bank’s business. He said that joining the BDLA shows the bank’s commitment to supporting brokers and property professionals with clear decisions and certainty of delivery.

Adam Tyler, chief executive of the BDLA, welcomed Recognise Bank to the association. He noted the increasing importance of short-term property finance among both specialist lenders and established banks, and said that Recognise Bank’s experience and focus on property lending would add depth to the BDLA’s membership.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, the addition of Recognise Bank to the BDLA highlights the ongoing growth and professionalisation of the bridging finance sector, which can impact property transactions and short-term financing options.
