Marsh Finance Unveils Major Partner Upgrades to Boost Speed, Flexibility and Approvals

Marsh Finance, a leading provider of specialist motor finance, has today announced a series of significant changes to its partner proposition. The improvements, which will be implemented throughout September, are designed to speed up, simplify, and improve the finance process for their dealership and broker partners across the UK.

The changes follow extensive feedback gathered from Marsh Finance’s recent partner survey, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to listening, adapting, and strengthening relationships with its network.

Key changes include:

• Faster payouts: Validation calls have been removed, and Open Banking is no longer required for loans over £15,000.
• More flexibility: Hire Purchase will now be accepted up to 14 years at the end of term; minimum customer age has been lowered to 20; and the £500 affordability cap has been removed, enabling larger loans.
• Better support: Weekend opening hours have been extended, with teams now available Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm. Partners will also benefit from improved communication during payout stages.
• Smarter approvals: An enhanced scorecard will mean higher approval rates, giving dealers and brokers more opportunities to convert applications.
• Inclusive affordability: Some customer benefits will now be considered within affordability assessments, helping more customers access finance.

Andrew Marsh, CEO of Marsh Finance, commented:

“We’re proud of the partnerships we’ve built, and the feedback from our partners has been invaluable in shaping these changes. Every improvement we’ve made focuses on helping dealers and brokers do more business with less friction; whether that’s faster payouts, greater flexibility, or higher approval rates. And this is just the start; we have more developments in the pipeline to further improve efficiency and partner support.”

The changes will roll out across Marsh Finance’s operations throughout September 2025.
