Traditional lending is manual and slow. Brokers struggle with underwriting, data gaps, and loan approval wait times. This is why clients drop out, and broker growth is limited. SaaS partnerships and embedded lending now allow brokers to scale fast and work smarter. Embedded lending means loan services are integrated into non-financial platforms or apps. Brokers can offer financing to clients without leaving their workflow or switching to traditional banking channels.  

Traditional lending makes clients jump through hoops. Clients face delays and plenty of paperwork. Approval cycles are long, and they feel disconnected. Embedded lending replaces all that with fast, seamless credit access right at the point where clients need it. In fact, the embedded lending market is estimated to be worth USD 7.66 Bn in 2025 and will reach USD 28.34 Bn by 2032, growing at a 20.6% CAGR from 2025 to 2032. This is the massive shift in how finance is being delivered to businesses in the UK and globally. 

Brokers using embedded lending avoid manual data entry and clunky processes. Loan approval and funding happen on the same platform. For brokers, embedded lending offers efficient scaling, better client retention, and improved approval rates. Clients benefit from convenience, faster decisions, and transparent service. 

Why UK Brokers Should Partner with SaaS Companies 

Working with SaaS companies lets brokers grow their business without the constraints of traditional limitations. The streamlined operations allow them to serve even more clients without increasing the staff. The automation processes require minimal human input, thereby empowering the brokers to attend to more customers within a limited duration. This implies that they are in a position to increase their reach and offer better services to their clients.  

Technology allows brokers to offer solutions that meet today’s customer expectations. AI-driven credit checks and automated underwriting tools speed up decision-making and approval. Brokers can stand out by offering fast, personalised finance solutions that their competitors don’t.  

Lower cost and less complexity also open up new markets. Brokers do not have to invest in infrastructure or even employ special teams. SaaS platforms offer modular solutions that can be used as needed. This is key to scaling, especially for growing brokerages that need to stay agile. Embedded lending also increases client satisfaction, which drives growth. An easy process of application, quicker approvals, and customised credit solutions imply that clients will be more likely to return and refer others. As brokers build trust and loyalty, they not only grow their client base but also achieve higher retention rates and deeper relationships. 

What Should Brokers Consider Before Adopting Embedded Lending 

Before you implement embedded lending solutions, you need to consider your current operations and future plans. How will technology fit into your existing workflows without disrupting your services? Who is the right SaaS partner for you? Look for platforms that are scalable, secure and easy to integrate. Data privacy and compliance are key. Make sure client data is handled securely and in line with regulatory standards like GDPR. Working with platforms that put data protection first will help you build trust with your clients and lenders. The key is to start small. Pilot embedded lending with a subset of clients to test workflows and get feedback. This will minimise risk and allow you to refine your offering before rolling out across the board. 

Keeping these in mind, brokers can transition to embedded lending, open up new growth zones, and give their clients a hassle-free experience. 

Brokers Can Partner with Pulse 

Pulse’s Loan Origination System (LOS) is a solution to help brokers scale with ease. It is an end-to-end lending solution that fits within your current workflow. Brokers have access to tools that simplify the entire loan process, from application to disbursement. 

The features of Pulse’s LOS empower brokers to operate more efficiently and serve clients better. The loan application process is simplified as borrowers’ information is collected through automated workflows. Also, one application can be sent to multiple lenders to get loan offers, while the application process is reduced to less than 3 minutes. 

The loan origination process is incomplete without underwriting. Einstein aiDeal, an automated underwriting tool, processes over 95% of deals in less than 45 seconds. All this leads to disbursement being accelerated, so clients get funds quickly, and satisfaction and trust are improved. 

With Pulse’s LOS, brokers don’t have to juggle multiple systems or spend time reconciling different data sources. Contact us to know more.
