Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Many of the processes in the mortgage industry have remained unchanged for decades, and huge amounts of money are spent on tasks that have the potential to be automated. This is the gap that Polly fills, with its SaaS solution for mortgage lenders, that can automate mortgage loan pricing and sales, as well as offering data-driven analytical insights.
In an industry worth trillions of dollars, Polly has found its place in providing flexible and innovative time-saving solutions for repeatable mortgage capital market tasks. With product and pricing, loan trading, and analytics capabilities, the company offers its clients comprehensive control to modernize their workflows, and has been rewarded by rapid growth and an increasing customer count.
Funding raised by Polly is cited to go towards accelerating innovation - including by investing in AI and ML capabilities - as well as growing its ecosytem of partners, hiring talent, and delivering even better products for its customers.
