Smartr365 and The Money Group are holding a series of roadshows to inform and educate the intermediary sector about the power of technology and digitisation within the mortgage journey.
The first joint event took place at Smartr365’s London office on 21st July.
The first in a series of investor, journalist, and professional connection roadshows saw both firms lay out their vision for the future of the mortgage market.
Both Smartr365 and The Money Group believe the future of the mortgage industry depends on using digitalisation to shake up and revolutionise the way home loans are delivered to borrowers. At the event, both firms also discussed the importance of ensuring that the positive strides taken during the Covid-19 pandemic are translated into long-term transformative change for the mortgage industry.
Martin Stewart, CEO at The Money Group, said: “Smartr365 shares our vision for the future of the mortgage industry – technology has to play a central role as we move out of the Covid-19 pandemic. The sector needs to read the room better – consolidation is at long last arriving on our shores, so there will be no room for antiquated processes or amateurism in how we service and communicate with the consumer.
“In recent news we have seen a lot of restructuring of ‘robo adviser’ firms – this tells me that investors are waking up to the fact that technology will not replace the adviser, but that instead we need to harness it in order to improve what the adviser does.”
Conor Murphy, CEO at Smartr365, added: “For our sector to capitalise on the progress made in the last 18 months, big players need to work together to ensure that technology remains central to advisers’ day to day jobs – that’s what our new partnership does.
“We have a clear vision on where the industry is heading and by collaborating with The Money Group we can help lead it to a brighter and more efficient future. Not only are we continuing the rapid user growth experienced over the past year, but we are ensuring that together we can shape the development of the mortgage journey.”
