For mortgage brokers

A remortgage is two years from hello.

No other trade on this site has a follow-up window this long. Cardr captures the introduction properly, keeps the context attached to the name, and reminds you at the point in the fixed term where the conversation is actually worth having.

A broker’s desk runs on introductions and on timing, and both are hard to hold in your head. You meet someone at an open house or through an agent, they are eighteen months from the end of a fix, and the conversation that matters is the one in eighteen months. Cardr captures the introduction with nothing for them to install, keeps the detail against the name, and reminds you when the window opens. It is a contact tool, not advice software and not a compliance system.

The real scene

The gap between the introduction and the case.

Nothing else here has a wait this long between meeting someone and doing business with them.

Where it happens

The two-year gap

Nothing else here has a wait this long between meeting someone and doing business with them.

  • Two years Nothing else on this site has a wait this long between meeting somebody and doing business with them.
  • Details change Over two years your firm, your number or your permissions will move. A printed card is wrong by then.
  • The window When the fix ends they need you inside a fortnight. If they cannot find you, they use whoever they can.

Every constraint above is what decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

Most tools in this category are built for a sale that closes this quarter. That is not the shape of a broker’s desk. You meet people constantly through agents, developers, existing clients and open houses, and a meaningful proportion of them are not a case for a year or more.

The thing that decides whether that introduction becomes a case is whether you can still reach them, and whether you can still remember anything specific about them, when the window finally opens. Both fail quietly and neither failure shows up anywhere.

A Wallet pass is also unusually well suited here for a boring reason: your details change. Move network, change firm, change number, and a card someone saved two years ago is worthless. A pass corrects itself on their phone the day you edit it, which is the whole point when the gap is this long.

The card itself

What it looks like on the phone.

Not a mock-up. The artwork below is drawn by the same function that draws the inside of the signed .pkpass file, in the same colours the real pass carries, so this is what Wallet shows.

What you get

A record that lasts longer than a fix.

  • Their details captured properly. Two-way exchange on the free plan, so an introduction produces a contact rather than a name you half remember.
  • The timing on the record. Notes and tags per contact, so “fix ends September next year, first-time buyer, buying with sister” is attached to the name.
  • Reminders that survive the gap. Set once, at the point the note says. This is the single most useful thing on the page for this trade.
  • Referral sources tagged. Which agent, which developer, which client sent them, so you know where the desk actually comes from.
  • Your details always current. Change firm or network and every saved card updates itself. Two-year-old contact details are the normal failure here.
  • Export whenever. CSV and vCard on Pro. Brokers move, and your introductions should move with you.
Questions

Mortgage brokers, answered.

Is Cardr regulated, or does it give advice?

No, and no. Cardr is a contact and business card tool. It does not give financial advice, does not produce illustrations or recommendations, and is not authorised by the FCA. Your regulatory obligations, including how you record advice and handle client data, sit entirely with you and your firm.

Is it safe to hold client details in it?

The contacts you collect are yours and you are the data controller for them. The exchange form tells the person their details are going to you and are stored. You should satisfy yourself that it fits your firm's data policy before using it for anything beyond an introduction, and our privacy notice sets out our side of it in full.

Does it integrate with my CRM or sourcing system?

No. Cardr has no integrations of any kind today. It exports to CSV and vCard on Pro, which covers a manual import. If your firm mandates a single system of record, treat Cardr as the front door to it rather than a replacement.

Does the client need an app?

No. The pass goes into Apple Wallet, preinstalled on every iPhone. Android users open your page from the QR code and save you to their contacts from there.

What does it cost?

Free forever for the card, the Apple Wallet pass and the two-way exchange, with no card details taken. Pro is £12 a month, or £9 a month billed annually, for the contact memory, the reminders and the drafted follow-ups. Sixty-day money back guarantee.
