It's kind of surprising to see an app claiming anonymity in the mortgage process, don't you think real lenders would have issues with that, how are you addressing lender trust, also how will you handle potential regulations changes that could impact this approach, curious about your thoughts on long-term sustainability of this model
Maker
Download the app. The whole point of this launch is that we are signing a "real" lender a week. Genuine mainstream lenders are in the app TODAY. It was hard but we're starting to roll! Due to how regs work today, you still have to become un-anon at the end of the process. However, regulation is going our way because we protect the data and use approved verification techniques. It's just on your mobile phone and off central servers. Soon, more will work on-chain, permissionable data, and we are setting up your phone to be a decentralized node to manage your data. It's innovative, not our first moonshot start-up, and it's working :) Please help us grow, that's why we are here! Product Hunters are the tech savvy folks in their circles of friends and family.
Excited to see Aster Key launch, Brad! This level of data security for home loans is essential in today's world. Can’t wait to try it out and help others stay safe. 🙌

YES, Zane! Thanks for the support.
Great innovation! Any thoughts on how this might impact credit scores?
Maker
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!
Maker
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?
Maker
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 so much, Emin!

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.
