    739. Insights: Could 'mortgages as a service' mark the future of homebuying?

    739. Insights: Could 'mortgages as a service' mark the future of homebuying?

    Our expert hosts, Benjamin Ensor, is joined by some great guests to ask: "Could 'mortgages as a service' mark the future of homebuying?"


    This week's guests include:



    Andrew Lloyd, Chief Customer Officer, Pexa UK
    Ewan Silver, Group CTO, 11:FS
    Francesca Carlesi, Co-Founder & CEO, Molo Finance


    We see embedded finance and banking as a service (or BaaS) as one of the next big evolutions in financial services - whether that’s embedded lending, payments, or insurance.


    But buying a house remains the biggest and most significant purchase of most people’s lifetimes - and the mortgage process remains a complete headache in most countries.


    Could partnerships between fintechs, banks, and non-financial players – where mortgage services are embedded at the point of need - be the answer?

Very insightful, well worth a listen if you play in the FinTech, InsurTech space, relevant to all players in the value chain.

GOLDGUESTLISTMEMBER ,

Push the speakers harder please. I need to learn something new in an hour-long podcast

The podcast is good at summarizing the news and bringing speakers from a range of businesses. The interviewers need to get a lot less breathless and happy for the founders when they close a raise, and push the journalism beyond the hype. What specifically is different about your business than the incumbents, and precisely how is that possible to monetize? Please don’t just let them stop at “we are listening to our customers” or “we are agile”. It’s generic.
