In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, Tom breaks down the biggest shifts happening in Canada's mortgage technology landscape — from major lender-platform disconnections to what AI could mean for the future of mortgage app development.

We cover:

  • Why top lenders are cutting ties with major tech platforms

  • Real examples of platform incentives (like free trips) and their long-term strategy

  • A powerful update from Ben Salami (Canadian Mortgage App) and why his coding approach is a game-changer

  • The potential of AI tools like ChatGPT to empower non-coders to build game-changing tools

    If you're a mortgage professional, lender, tech builder, or just love staying ahead of the curve in this space—this one’s for you.
