Company mission

Making lending simpler, smoother and faster.

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.

Company values

  • People: Customers or employees, people always come first. People build technology to serve people. We are at the service of people, always.
  • Integrity: Always do the right thing and what is best for everyone
  • Candid Feedback: Giving and receiving feedback well is the one of the most important traits for learning. At Mast, anyone can voice their opinion, criticise ideas and call us out when we don't do things well, with the aim of promoting growth.
  • Self awareness: We are all humans, we are all flawed and none of us know everything – and that should never be a limiting factor. It's okay to make mistakes, as long as you are happy to ask for help and want to learn. We succeed as a team.
  • Reliability: We invest heavily in infrastructure, design and great service. Trust and reputation is a pillar of our identity.
  • Honesty and transparency: We provide a safe and open environment. We rely on truthful and transparent communication to ensure that the best ideas win.
  • Pursuit of excellence: Everything we do, we do well or we don’t do at all. Even the things that we don’t see at the surface. Excellence is in the process and in the details. The rest will take care of itself.
