Feedback

Luke Saint

Founder & CEOMortgage Thoughts Limited

“The functionality of the platform is tricky to explain even to an industry expert. Trying to explain it to someone who’s never done mortgages is even tougher, but they’ve done well. There’s nothing I could say that they could do better. I’m really happy with them. They’re motivated and they want to help.”

Solutions and Services

As a financial organization specializing in mortgages and lending, our client operates with the latest banking products and recent personal financial information to find the best products for their client's next mortgage or re-mortgage operations.

Problems

01
Mortgage eligibility check requires a vast amount of manual work and time.
02
The client needs a fintech solution aimed at giving people the likelihood of their mortgage being approved before they apply — pre-application eligibility.
03
Low call conversion and not enough competitive advantages.
04
Insufficient mortgage applications processing capacity.
05
Many complex bank product rules could result in wrong advice and decisions.
06
Too much paperwork on the client side collecting their financial reports.

Challenges we faced

Building a brand new financial software to automate mortgage advising goes in parallel with robust security as integration with banking products sources and financial institutions goes together with sensitive information that requires to be stored for a fixed amount of time and be encrypted even if it stays in memory. The complex bank rules require a mechanism to create a flexible comparison and ranking engine that could determine the best mortgage products on the market according to the recent financial state of each particular person.

  • Implement complicated business rules for data collection and processing.
  • Support hundreds of possible application form-filling paths.
  • Adhere to the regulatory requirements and protect PII and bank data in transit and at rest.
  • Security and observability are the key requirements.
  • Customizable financial data solving & scoring engine.

Expertise

UI/UX Design

Throughout the deep competitors’ analysis, we’ve learned and designed the best market User Experience and designed a User Interface according to it and best practices.

Front-end Development

Using cutting-edge technologies, we’ve implemented a robust, rapidly fast, and responsive single-page application as a web application to render data quickly and provide the same UX on different devices and browsers.

Back-end Development

We’ve prioritized data privacy and security when designing architecture and implementing the server side. As a result, we’ve built a micro-services distributed platform that provides high availability and fault tolerance during the data processing jobs.

Integrations

We’ve built a robust approach to integrating our system with financial data providers using a highly secure method and passing an internal audit and verification process.

Security

Working with private financial data requires top security approaches to protect and separate data. We are proud that external security auditors verified our solution and were highly rated.

Results

New System
Jappware’s team has built a robust, flexible, secure microservices-based financial system. This system integrates with major credit agencies to empower the advanced algorithm that analyses your financial and credit history, including different payment circumstances against the criteria of several bank lenders, to find the best mortgage deals for you.
High Security
Jappware’s team, in cooperation with security experts, developed, documented, tested, and maintained a security framework (a set of security policies), ensuring the sensitive data is accessible only to authorized parties. The system regularly undertakes penetration testing to ensure data protection and business continuity.

Impact

Our dedicated team has created a fintech solution for mortgage eligibility from scratch. In addition to the technical solution, we have put valuable business ideas on the table that significantly increased the client's conversion rate from tool usage to actual client calls. The system became a technical foundation for new projects.
