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.”

Insufficient mortgage applications processing capacity.
05
Many complex bank product rules could result in wrong advice and decisions.

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 system. The system integrates with major credit agencies to empower the advanced algorithm that analyses your credit history and circumstances against the criteria of several specialist lenders to find the best mortgage deals for you.
High Security
Jappware’s team, in cooperation with security experts, developed, documented, implemented, 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 the mortgage eligibility tool from scratch. In addition to the technical solution, we have put valuable business ideas on the table. The system became a technical foundation for new projects.
