Sydney based digital mortgage service Uno has raised $16.5m in Series A funding led by Westpac. Uno offers households the tools to search, compare and settle a better home loan for themselves online, including realtime chat.
The company says: uno is redefining the way property finance is secured by using a ‘technology plus people’ approach to provide the consumer the power to get a home loan that gives them a better deal – from both major and smaller lenders via any digital device with real-time advice and support. Driven by next generation tools and calculators with the capability to provide real-time home loan rates and borrowing power based on a consumer’s personal situation, uno has reimagined how Australians can buy or refinance a home. The successful launch of unohomeloans.com.au in May this year has attracted a number of high profile investors, such as Westpac, that have discovered the service’s potential to redefine how Australians buy or refinance their home.
