MortgageMarket, an SA-based fintech startup has raised $683K in Series A Funding from venture capital firm, IDF Capital. This will allow the startup to grow and expand its operations across South Africa.

MortgageMarket

As the name implies, MortgageMarket is an online marketplace for home loans. Being the first of its kind in South Africa, the customer-oriented platform proffers financial solutions to customers.

Co-founded in 2019 by Tim Akinnusi, MortgageMarket allows its clients to apply for home loans, compare mortgage offers from top banking institutions in South Africa, helping them get the best home loan deals.

Leaning heavily on technology, the company developed a quick pre-approval tool to give prospective homeowners insights on how much they can qualify in under two minutes. Also, through its bond calculator feature, users can know how much they’re expected to pay back on a monthly basis.

“We will use the funding to strengthen our operations locally, working alongside our partners and the six largest SA banks,”

“MortgageMarket fits perfectly into our portfolio. The company has demonstrated strong traction to date, in addition to developing a healthy sales pipeline and business partnerships.

Above all, we are jointly executing our value creation strategy with MortgageMarket. This will see interesting synergies between MortgageMarket and our other portfolio companies; the result of which will give greater shared value to the market.”
