These contracts change that dynamic by giving credible and innovative access to home loans in less than 48 hours, whist providing pre-approvals in less than 2-minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Akinnusi is the former Managing Director of ABSA Home Loans and the former Executive Head of Sales and Client Management at Nedbank Home Loans. He has been instrumental in pioneering innovative tools in home loans for the past 14 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact of milestone extends across all industry participants. Estate agents benefit from faster deal certainty and higher conversion rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originators and aggregators gain equal access to all major banks through one platform, regardless of size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumers benefit from transparent comparisons, broader choices, convenience, and improved outcomes driven by competition rather than gatekeeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCrucially, this development represents a win for the industry participants and customers. By opening access to bank mortgage origination and modernising how lending is distributed, MortgageMarket is helping to create a more competitive, inclusive, and efficient property finance ecosystem\u201d, said Akinnusi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With origination contracts secured, MortgageMarket is also regulated by National Credit Act (NCA), holds an FSP licence and a PPRA licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MortgageMarket\u2019s proprietary technology is scalable and is positioned to support the next phase of industry growth, one defined by access, transparency, and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mortgagemarket.co.za\/?utm_source=MyBroadband&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_term=June+2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to learn more about MortgageMarket.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MortgageMarket, a leading FinTech and the largest online marketplace for home loans in South Africa, recently announced a landmark industry development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341030,"featured_media":651537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28937],"tags":[105678],"class_list":["post-651535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrynews","tag-mortgagemarket"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651535"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341030"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651535"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":651574,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651535\/revisions\/651574"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
