MS Lending Group Delivers Fastest Funding Speeds on Record in April 2026

Headshot ceo

MS Lending Group has reported its strongest operational performance to date, achieving an average time to fund of 14 days in April. This latest figure brings the lender’s year to date average down to 21 days, reinforcing its position as one of the fastest and most reliable funders in the market. 

April’s funding speed represents a significant acceleration year on year, 14 days on average in April 2026 versus 19 days in April 2025, a five-day improvement. And a 14-day improvement since April 2024. 

The company explains a key factor behind this performance is the strength of the business’s packaging standards. Of all loans completed within the 14-day window only 16% of these cases used dual representation, meaning 84% of completions were achieved outside the dual rep process which is typically the reason for quick completions for lenders across the bridging space. This highlights genuine efficiency gains across underwriting, processing and overall case quality. 

“Speed is only valuable when it is backed by quality, and April’s performance demonstrates both.”, Michael Stratton, CEO and founder of MS Lending Group. “Our focus on packaging excellence and operational rigour continues to deliver results for brokers and borrows who need certainty of execution.”

MS Lending Group continues to scale its team, technology and processes to meet growing demand while maintaining high quality, fast, and flexible lending.
