TrigoldCrystal has secured a new contract to become the exclusive provider of mortgage data to Legal and General’s website. TrigoldCrystal’s online research engine and mortgage database proved superior to the other products on offer to win the prestigious partnership.

The new feature on the mortgage pages of the Legal & General website will be used to help consumers research mortgages online before being passed to a Legal & General broker for an advised sale. Legal & General have built their own unique interface for the service which uses TrigoldCrystal technology at the ‘back end’ to run the searches and deliver the data.

The TrigoldCrystal Research Service is growing rapidly and is currently running over 200,000 searches per month to power adviser websites, corporate websites, and the TrigoldCrystal iPhone application.

Simon Maskell, Technology Director, at Legal & General Network, said:

“This is a very exciting project for us. Consumers are increasingly looking online for product information prior to seeking advice and this new feature helps them get what they want. The scale of the project means we needed to partner with a credible provider who could source this data quickly and accurately. TrigoldCrystal proved to us they could deliver this as requested and we are looking forward to a successful launch.”

Patrick Shuker, Chief Technical Officer, at TrigoldCrystal, said:

“This is another great endorsement of our new research technology and will help consumers to navigate the confusing world of mortgages. Our tools and technology are being used by an increasing number of firms on their own sites to help satisfy consumer demand for more intelligent research tools. Legal & General will be using our Mortgage Search Web Service within their own application to generate leads for their member firms.”
