Tim Ford has been appointed as national partnerships manager.

Bringing with him over 17 years of experience in the mortgage broking industry, with 12 spent specifically in aggregation.

Ford has been tasked with shaping the way WLTH forms relationships and delivers value with Australia's largest aggregators and brokers.

The appointment comes as part of a strategic partnership the Australian digital lending and payments provider has made with mortgage broker aggregator Specialist Finance Group to strengthen its presence in the broker community, connect with more everyday Australians looking to save on their mortgages, and create a positive environmental impact.

As part of the partnership, SFG will be the first aggregator to incorporate WLTH products into its comparison proposals.

"WLTH is a real challenger to many of the other digital lending and payments players in the local space," Ford says.

"I look forward to working alongside the team to take an innovative approach in delivering value and expanding WLTH's growth in the market through building core relationships between top aggregators, large broking businesses, referrals and the end customer."
