16:23 - Mortgage/Bond Origination Software
SaaS for mortgage originators that goes beyond just processing and file intake.
- Give originators a branded landing page they can share with clients
- Client-facing portal for applications, document uploads, status tracking
- Back-end for processing, KYC, document management
- Reference: HES LoanBox (hesfintech.com/platform/) for feature inspiration
- White-label approach lets each originator have their own branding
Market concern: SA market too small - fewer than 500 independent mortgage originators nationally. Not enough addressable market to justify building. Source: Market research
Status: Parked - insufficient market size
