Shawbrook Bank and Aldermore Bank have renewed their multi-million pound funding lines with bridging lender SDKA, extending long-standing relationships that support the lender’s continued growth and product development.

The partnerships, which began in 2019 and 2021 respectively, have played a key role in SDKA’s expansion, enabling the lender to support cases outside standard criteria and bring new products to market.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, SDKA launched its Bridge to Term product alongside an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) proposition.

The lender is now exploring further routes for diversification in 2026 as it continues to broaden its offering to brokers and borrowers.

Kunal Mehta, Managing Director of SDKA, said:

“Our relationships with funding partners are built on trust. Our track record allows us to make decisions on applications, rate changes and product launches with confidence.

Shawbrook and Aldermore understand our focus on speed, precision and innovation. The renewal of these agreements supports the next phase of our growth.”

Hasna Qureshi, Associate Director at Shawbrook, added:

“SDKA’s ability to scale its lending while continuing to evolve its product offering highlights the strength of the business.

As their first institutional lender, we have supported that growth by increasing funding in line with their ambitions.”

Steve Thorne, Business Development Manager for Wholesale Finance at Aldermore, said:

“SDKA has built a strong track record in the bridging market, underpinned by disciplined underwriting and a clear focus on supporting brokers and their clients.

Renewing our funding line reflects our confidence in the team and our shared commitment to delivering flexible, well-structured finance solutions.”
