Welcome to the Mortgage Industry Subgroup.
Purpose
To foster sustainable, inclusive communities through efficient, fair, and quality mortgage lending around the globe.
Vision
To securely close home loans as efficiently as an auto loan while delivering a superior digital customer experience.
Mission
To educate mortgage lenders, vendor partners, investors, real estate records custodians, and government agencies around the globe of production-ready blockchain technologies that support the global housing mission of creating sustainable, inclusive communities through efficient, fair, and quality mortgage lending.
Introduction
The Mortgage Industry Subgroup (MIS) is focused on technical and business-level issues within the Mortgage Industry and on developing applicable use cases for blockchain technology in the Mortgage Industry (MI). It will bring together technical, academic, and industry-related expertise to address challenges with the MI. These include trust and transparency challenges due to the involvement of multiple entities, no clear mechanism to track end-to-end activities of every entity, and complex operations due to the involvement of many partners, vendors, customers, distributors, and network providers. These aforementioned problems can be addressed through the application of blockchain technology.
Objectives
- Identify specific opportunities where the application of blockchain technologies can meaningfully advance the state of the mortgage industry
- Provide a foundation for real-world use case identification, blockchain technology alignment, and operational validation of technology fit for purpose
Share stories of successes, failures, opportunities and challenges
Work towards building a Mortgage Industry Blockchain consortium
Identify conferences or other opportunities to connect face to face, as well as submit talks or present as a group at an event
- Serve as an open channel of communication between the membership of this Special Interest Group and the leadership of Hyperledger to inform leadership on prospective improvements of Hyperledger frameworks and toolsets, within the context of the mortgage industry
