One Mortgage System (OMS) hosted its latest Tech Talks event in London, bringing together representatives from lenders, brokers, networks and technology providers to discuss the future of mortgage technology and digital lending.
The first panel session focused on how lenders and brokers are competing for the growing number of digitally-focused borrowers. Speakers included Dale Jannels, chief executive at OMS, Dawid Kotur, chief executive at Curvestone AI, Angela Hesketh, head of Government & public affairs at PEXA, Henry Vaughan, vice president of growth at Selina Finance, Matthew Kimber, chief executive at Molo Finance, and Michael Craig, managing director at Brilliant Solutions.
Discussions covered the progress towards a fully digital mortgage journey, the role of AI and automation in underwriting and decision-making, borrower expectations around speed and transparency, and the importance of stronger integration between broker and lender systems.
A separate panel featuring Sebastian Murphy, group director at JLM Mortgage Network, and Danny Belton, head of TMG Club and partner strategy, focused on broker expectations from lenders and how technology is reshaping adviser workflows and client management.
The event also featured presentations from Angela Hesketh at PEXA, alongside Travis Scholes, commercial director at LMS, and Suzanne Booth, head of lender sales and corporate accounts at LMS. Headline sponsor for the event was Curvestone AI, with additional sponsorship from PEXA, LMS and Phoebus Software.
Dale Jannels, chief executive at One Mortgage System, said: “Our Tech Talk events have proved very popular, and this event was no different with a lively and engaging debate throughout the day. Having so many lenders of differing sizes in one place, who were willing to share ideas and discuss key areas assisting (and affecting) the mortgage technology market was valuable. A huge thank you to all our sponsors and speakers. At OMS we will continue to bring partners together at events like this to lead the development of integrated solutions to deliver the best-in-class solutions for brokers and lenders.”
Dawid Kotur, chief executive at Curvestone AI, added: “Our ethos is very similar to OMS’, we’re keen to stay agnostic in terms of the systems lenders and brokers use, and to give compliance teams AI modules that automate case packaging, compliance checks, and reporting, with a full audit trail behind every decision. Great event, and we’re already looking forward to the next one!”
