The story

MQube is a UK-based fintech that built MPowered, an AI-powered mortgage platform targeting brokers. The platform emphasises data science and automation to deliver underwritten mortgage offers with speed and certainty. A key infrastructure move was adopting Thought Machine's core banking technology to streamline mortgage lending operations, signalling a build-out of robust, cloud-native lending infrastructure rather than reliance on legacy systems.
