As a trusted and experienced later life lending and mortgage advice firm, Optimus Mortgages aims to provide clear, trustworthy guidance on important financial matters. To achieve this, we know that engaging with clients and followers on social media can be invaluable. However, after careful consideration, we have decided to step away from actively posting on Twitter, which is now branded as X.
Our decision wasn’t made lightly, but we feel it is the right choice. Over time, the nature of Twitter as a platform has shifted significantly, with an increasing volume of unsettling content that does not align with our values or our commitment to a supportive client experience. Given the role Twitter now plays in influencing social and political discussions, including its involvement in spreading extreme views, we believe it is no longer an ideal place for Optimus Mortgages to connect with clients.
Optimus Mortgages is dedicated to fostering a positive, informative online presence where people feel safe and supported in learning about later life lending, standard mortgages, and the broader financial options available to them. Although Twitter has been an important tool in reaching people, the disadvantages now outweigh the advantages, particularly in light of the concerns we have around the content that often trends on the platform.
Other Ways To Stay Connected Away From Twitter
While we won’t be actively posting on Twitter, we will keep our Twitter account open, simply to prevent misuse of our handle by anyone else. Meanwhile, we’re excited to connect with our clients and followers on other platforms that align better with our values. You can find us on:
LinkedIn – where we share industry insights, articles, and updates.
Facebook – where we offer approachable content and resources for later life lending and standard mortgages.
Instagram – where you can see snapshots of our work, get updates, and join a community that values thoughtful financial planning.
Bluesky – our newest platform, chosen to offer an alternative social media experience.
Our website, www.optimusmortgages.co.uk, remains the best place for detailed information on later life lending, standard mortgages, and other mortgage options. We’re committed to sharing clear, unbiased guidance to empower those aged 55 and above to make informed financial choices in their later years.
We value every interaction with you and look forward to connecting on platforms that enable positive, helpful exchanges without the added concerns currently surrounding Twitter. At Optimus Mortgages, we’re here to support you, whether you’re exploring a lifetime mortgage, looking for an equity release product, or seeking guidance on other lending options.
Thank you for understanding our decision, and we encourage you to connect with us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or Bluesky. We look forward to continuing our conversations with you in a safer, more supportive environment.
