Mast and Sikoia Partnership: Bringing AI-Powered Document Processing to Mortgage Lenders
London-based fintech Sikoia, which helps financial services providers automate key processes, is partnering with Mast. Largely focussing on mortgages, Mast is a cutting-edge loan origination platform, currently serving UK building societies and lenders. Through this collaboration, Mast will integrate Sikoia’s AI-powered application document processing solution into its platform, significantly streamlining case handling and improving the overall user experience.
Sikoia automates tasks such as income, employer, and affordability checks directly from customer-submitted documents, including payslips, bank statements, and tax returns. What once took hours of manual review can now be completed in just minutes. The Sikoia platform also automatically verifies document authenticity, detects signs of tampering, and checks whether each document meets the specific lender policy requirements for the application.
“Speed and accuracy are essential in today’s mortgage landscape to meaningfully enhance the customer experience,” said Alexis Rog, founder and CEO at Sikoia. “Our partnership with Mast helps deliver that, cutting processing times, reducing errors, and enabling a smoother journey for borrowers and brokers alike.”
By embedding this technology into its origination platform, Mast clients can:
- Reduce document handling costs and time by over 75%
- Automate identification of gaps and verification of key data points
- Cut document analysis errors to below 1%, improving accuracy
Joy Abisaab, co-founder and CEO at Mast, commented:
“We’re committed to helping lenders process applications faster and more intelligently. Partnering with Sikoia adds a powerful layer of document automation and data verification to our platform – enabling our clients to operate more efficiently while delivering a superior customer experience.”
