Metro Bank has enhanced the criteria for its employment and income requirements.

The lender will now accept court ordered child maintenance payments and foster income as part of a customer’s income.

This will be accepted providing the child is under 13 years old at the point of application. Foster income will also be accepted with a 24-month history.

Customers with less than six months employment history can also now be accepted providing it is the result of a career break or parental leave.

Metro Bank director of mortgage distribution Charles Morley says: “Family finances and income streams have become more complicated in recent years and, after listening to broker feedback we’re really excited to introduce these enhancements.”
