Our take

Digitisation within the mortgage industry has been slow, with many lenders still relying on paper based processes. Mast provides cloud-native technology to help mortgage lenders save costs, underwrite more applications and deliver new levels of service. Their products allow lenders to operate more efficiently, react faster to changing market conditions, and focus on offering the best service possible.

The platform allows lenders to improve the origination process and increase conversions while delivering a top-class service, enabling faster lending decisions. In late 2021 Mast announced a partnership with MBS Lending, a subsidiary of the Melton Building Society to launch an online mortgage application portal. As MBS is the first lender to adopt the Mast broker portal the success of the partnership will prove pivotal for Mast's long term prospects.
