Stephen Rhodes joins Lender FinTec Solution Instamo
Instamo, the FinTech redefining lender–broker connectivity, has appointed Stephen Rhodes as Head of Growth to accelerate adoption of its Next Generation Intermediary Portal API — a breakthrough solution that enables lenders to offer brokers a fully digital, low-friction way to submit mortgage applications without rebuilding existing systems.
Stephen joins at an exciting time for the company, described as a breakthrough solution that enables lenders to give brokers a fast, digital way to submit mortgage applications in just a few clicks, without rebuilding existing systems.
Stephen Rhodes, previously of Legal and General and Twenty7tec, will now lead growth at Instamo, bringing deep experience in financial technology and strategic partnerships. His focus will be on expanding Instamo’s presence across the mortgage and lending ecosystem, driving adoption of its API technology, and building relationships with both lenders and intermediary networks.
Founder Freddie Savundra comments:
“Today’s lender connectivity solutions are fragmented — every integration is a one-off project that takes years and costs a fortune. Instamo changes that. We turn any lender portal into a Next Gen API, enabling one-click mortgage app submissions instantly. With Stephen joining Instamo, his experience and drive will help accelerate our mission to make effortless, one-click connectivity the new standard for lenders.”
Stephen Rhodes comments:
“I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Instamo as Head of Growth. The team has created something truly game-changing for lenders and brokers. There’s huge potential to transform how the industry operates, and I’m excited to see what’s possible with this technology. It’s great to be part of such a forward-thinking team that’s genuinely pushing the boundaries of what’s next in mortgages.”
