Besides the great security attributes of Aster Key, it's the privacy aspect that I love the most. Previously you would fill out an application online and get slaughtered for the next year with phone calls, texts and emails longer after your application process was completed. Now I know when I apply, I don't have to worry about getting inundated.

@bert4332 We hear that ALL the time. Did you know in the US, something insane is allowed? Let's say you go to a lender, and they run your credit through Equifax, TransUnion, or Experian. That lender pays good money to do that. Guess what those credit bureau 💩's do the instant that happens? They sell your info to other lenders, saying you're applying for a loan! If that's not bad enough, a lot of those companies then send you mail that tries to look like the initial firm you are dealing with. Yea, it's a problem. Your data is sent everywhere. It sucks and is unsafe and not private.

Hello, You haven't upload a demo video. Also the trailer for Android apps is not visible.

This could be a great tool for privacy in the mortgage industry. How does Aster Key compare to traditional mortgage brokers?
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@maali_baali We are not a lender. We power any lender that 1) understands our mission is to always put consumer data privacy and data security first, and 2) when we say power, we mean we give lenders a channel to let consumers start their mortgage anonymously.

Wow, Aster Key is exactly what the mortgage industry needs! How’s the user experience so far?

@carmen_judson Since we launched last year, Thousands of consumers have created anonymized and secured financial statements on their phones. This week, we hooked up several lenders who will let you start your loan anonymously. We'll let you know how it goes!

Privacy in our digital world is very difficult and frustrating. I'm tired of personally getting hacked and being notified by credit card companies and my bank that they've been hacked. This app sounds great!

@shelly_swazey We got you, Shelly.

Congratulations on the launch. Which other countries are on the road map for the product in the future?
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@trisha_sinha20 It takes two things for us to launch in a country 1) a lender 2) there are tools to verify assets and income such as Plaid works there. We'll work on Canada, the UK, and the EU as Plaid works there now. I will throw this out there: if any product hunters already work with a lender in their country and want to partner with me, hit me up!
William Grewal
Very interesting.. we've just witnessed a couple vulnerabilities the last 3 weeks. Congrats on charting the course forward here.

@wgrewal We look at everything we do from the perspective of protecting the consumer first.
Aarav Pittman
Its anonymous mortgage process is intriguing! Does it impact the approval timeline in any way?
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@aarav_pittman YES! If you get ready in the Aster Key app, it saves you time, and you get to do it without judgment. Then, for lenders who it costs +/- $12,000 to process your loan, it reduces that cost for them as you are well ahead of the game when you apply.
Milli Sen
Congrats on the launch! This could be a game-changer. Happy to check out an industry-first product. Good luck!
Aster Key  Brad Blumberg
@millisen As you note, Milli, the key is the industry getting on board, and we are closing a lender a week on average, so we are pushing up the hill!
Aaron Hays
This could make big waves in the mortgage industry.

@aaron_hays That's the plan. Change lending to everyone's advantage, Consumer. Lender. Society.
