Great innovation! Any thoughts on how this might impact credit scores?

IMO, credit bureaus have lost the moral ground to store your data. We see a future where you hold your own verified data, and they can score it, with you staying anon. They get a fee. At some point, we'll need laws to let you opt out of having your data stored by them. Don't worry; many companies will lend based on new score models, which is the other part of your question.
Sounds like a much-needed solution! Just had a quick look at it, and the focus on privacy and control over personal data is awesome. Congrats on the launch!

Thank you Samuel! If you use it, keep the feedback coming. If you use the anon chat in the app, for now that comes to me and Eric!
Hey Brad crazy idea but how do you ensure privacy isn't compromised during lender communication. I mean what if a hacker intercepts at that stage seems like the weakest link no? Curious to hear your thoughts on this.
Maker
When borrowers send information to lenders, we ensure that personal and financial data are never transmitted together. Each type of data is independently encrypted, and we don't rely solely on HTTPS for protection. Additionally, when email communication is necessary, we implement multiple security layers, beginning with a strict policy of never transmitting actual data through email.
Hey Brad, the concept of starting a mortgage anonymously sounds intriguing but I wonder about the actual practicality, wouldn't lenders still need personal data at some stage, also, how do you ensure smaller lenders will adopt this tech?

1. Download the app. Smaller lenders who might be licensed in one state, as well as national lenders, are participating. This is going to be an alternative channel for every lender to offer consumers, kind of like how retail has adopted an alternate "buy now pay later" channel. 2. So, yes, when you want to complete the process, you have to send over your personal details. Over time, our roadmap goes deeper, as we are starting to work with the software lenders use to get everything in order and keep your data anon longer.
Congrats on the launch! This is a game-changer for privacy and security in the mortgage industry. Excited to see how Aster Key will empower consumers and reshape financial data protection. Wishing you great success! 🚀

Thank you Andreea!
So we're supposed to trust an app with all our sensitive financial data because they say it's secure, feels like another marketing ploy to me, how do we know our data is safer here than anywhere else
Maker
There is some info here: . We will do a better job as we grow to get all the letters like SOC, and more reviews by people respected in the industry, etc. . I don't mind your questioning at all, but it is definitely not a marketing ploy. We're a team that builds highly scalable and secure data systems known in the real estate and adjacent industries.
Maker
we're working to be the safest finance app, period.
This new app sounds pretty promising, Brad and Eric have come up with something really helpful and unique, in a time when data security stuff is so important, good job team, apps like NerdWallet and Credit Karma focus so much on your data for ads, this has potential to be a game-changer, looking forward to seeing how it impacts the market, though I wonder how easy it will be for consumers to switch over from more traditional lenders
Maker
We're not a lender. BUT there are real, live, traditional lenders in the app!!! That's what makes this a start-up with legs :). We integrate lenders into an entirely new "start your loan anonymously lending channel. Great comment, thanks.
Congrats on the launch! The Aster Key App is a game-changer for loan applications! With top-notch encryption protecting my data and keeping it away from shady data sellers, I finally feel safe applying for loans online. It's a win-win – I get peace of mind, and lenders get a secure way to connect with me. I love knowing my info is safe and that this app puts my privacy first. It's a must-have for anyone looking for a trustworthy loan experience!
This new mortgage app sounds interesting, but isn't it just another privacy-focused finance tool like DuckDuckGo or Brave but for home loans, seems a bit overhyped to me, sure data privacy is important but do we really need another app to protect our data when so many others already claim to do it better, it does make you wonder if these "anonymously" features actually hold up in practice, anyone else think it might be a bit too good to be true?

The concept is to get data off centralized servers and controlled by the data owner (you). It's integrated with real lenders. Its a ramp to on-chain, Web3/Web5 - but works today as we use the phone as a node not waiting for future tech. You are free to be a skeptic; that's healthy. My first start-up invented how mobile is used in real estate, pre-iPhone. A lot of smart people said phone is too small to be used to search for real estate (now its like 80% of search), but didn't see how GPS would change everything (it wasn't in phones yet). Same thing here, you WILL end up controlling and permissioning your data ;), its more of a when. We're gonna be there as it grows ;), join us.
