Mast works with lenders to streamline their processes and help borrowers obtain mortgages faster.

Kate Davies, executive director of IMLA, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Mast as the latest associate member of IMLA, and we look forward to their valuable contributions at our upcoming discussions.

“As a provider of technology infrastructure for lenders, they’ll be bringing a unique perspective and one which other IMLA members will be keen to hear.”

Joy Joseph Abisaab, co-founder and chief executive officer at Mast, added: “We started Mast with the bold ambition to build the next generation of mortgage origination technology infrastructure. To achieve that goal, our mission is to create the best possible tools to help intermediaries and lenders work better together every single day.

“We are excited to join IMLA to contribute and be closer to all members we are building solutions for, and bake in more of their feedback into our future plans.”
