Company mission
To ensure no borrower overpays for their mortgage.
Our take
The mortgage industry has been rife with misaligned incentives that benefit big banks and lenders. A suspect part of the industry is the intentionally confusing policies and processes that leave borrowers worse off.
Own Up provides a combination of intelligent software and personalized advice from mortgage experts to empower consumers to make the right decisions for them.
With a recent boost in capital, Own Up will strive to reach more buyers and homeowners through geographic expansion. Own Up’s fresh approach is already changing consumer behaviour in places like New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Texas.
Perhaps the biggest worry for Own Up will be the slow but certain response from traditional mortgage providers. However, it has made impressive ground with its head start and is already fulfilling its mission for thousands of consumers.
