Trusts are now captured as an applicant for a more uniform approach across lenders who allow this application structure. Trust details required to be entered will vary across different lenders.
For Individual Trusts, an Applicant must be selected as Primary Applicant, and the people linked to the trust are to be selected as Trustees and/or Beneficiaries;
For Company Trusts, a company needs to be added as an applicant and can be selected as primary applicant;
Note: For complex structures you may need to consult your lender BDM prior to contacting the Mercury Helpdesk.
