This Episode covers an interview with Geert Van Kerckhoven, the CEO of Oper Credits, a SaaS company specializing in mortgage technology solutions. Key points discussed include:

1. Digitizing Mortgages: Geert explains that Oper Credits provides software to streamline the mortgage origination process for banks across Europe. Their goal is to make the experience more efficient and user-friendly for both borrowers and loan officers.

2. Challenges in the Mortgage Industry: Despite recent technological advancements, the mortgage process remains largely paper-based and fragmented. Regulatory constraints and legacy systems in financial institutions contribute to slow adoption of digital solutions.

3. Role of AI and Open Banking: Geert sees AI as transformative for the mortgage sector, though it faces significant compliance hurdles. Open banking offers direct access to borrowers' financial data, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in loan applications. However, issues with inconsistent data and system integration remain obstacles.

4. Embedded Experiences: Geert advocates for an integrated, seamless mortgage experience that connects property browsing and financing—a concept well-developed in e-commerce but still lagging in the mortgage sector.

5. The Future of Mortgages and Fintech: Looking ahead, Geert envisions digital tools that enable real-time decisions for borrowers and closer collaboration with payment providers to leverage valuable data. Such integration could help banks make quicker, better lending decisions. Nonetheless, achieving this vision will require cooperation across regulatory, technological, and financial domains.

This discussion highlights the opportunities and ongoing challenges in creating a seamless, borrower-friendly mortgage journey in Europe’s evolving digital landscape.
