Borrowers may have to wait weeks for branch adviser meetings Last week, a business development manager at one of the UK’s biggest lenders warned brokers at a Sesame Live conference

that customers could expect waiting times of up to a month to see a lender’s in-branch mortgage adviser.

Nationwide Building Society to deploy remote bankers

who will do your mortgage interview on screen 400 miles away

“This new Nationwide service has the potential to get people back into their local branches, and in many parts of the
