This is the story of how we helped two founders launch their fintech platform within a few months, using Design Thinking and Agile development.
Despite being regulated, getting a new mortgage or re-mortgaging is a daunting task for many consumers.
Podium had an innovative idea that would change the face of how people chose the right mortgage, and make it as pain-free as possible for everyone. Being a brand new concept, the race to be first to market was real.
Podium had one single objective – to make mortgage applications as pain-free as possible. For everyone.
Adding deep technological expertise and fresh insight into what information people need and when, we acted fast to create a simple, intuitive platform that launched on time and made mortgage applications as pain-free as possible for everyone.
Putting the consumer first was always going to be our approach for a service designed to make people’s financial decisions easier. So, whilst we built APIs, connected various data sources, and navigated financial services regulations and compliance, our mantra was, “is it helpful to the customer? Is it putting their needs first?”
Using active strategy to make hard, fast decisions and keeping stakeholders engaged throughout meant we met the tight deadline and the Podium mortgage service launched as the first of its kind on the market.
