A Founder's Perspective on Industry Disruption
As CEO of MQube, Cheetham brings the unique perspective of someone who has built a business specifically to challenge the status quo in mortgages.
His keynote will explore the challenges of modernising mortgage processes in an industry bound by regulation, legacy systems and entrenched practices.
But challenges create opportunities, and Cheetham will share how MQube has leveraged digital tools to enhance customer experience in a process that has traditionally been frustrating, opaque and time-consuming for borrowers.
From application to approval, the mortgage journey is being reimagined through technology that prioritises speed, transparency and accessibility.
Lessons from the Front Lines
The session will delve into the practical realities of driving growth in a competitive market. Cheetham will share the strategies that have enabled MQube to gain traction, the lessons learned from setbacks and the vision that continues to guide the company's development.
Attendees will gain insights into what it takes to build a fintech business in a heavily regulated sector, how to balance innovation with compliance, and where the next opportunities lie as the mortgage revolution continues to unfold.
For aspiring fintech founders, Cheetham's journey offers valuable lessons in persistence, strategic focus and customer-centric innovation.
The Future of Mortgages
Beyond MQube's own story, Cheetham will explore the broader transformation reshaping the mortgage industry. As customer expectations shift – driven by experiences in other sectors where digital-first approaches are the norm – mortgage providers face pressure to modernise or risk losing ground to more agile competitors.
The keynote will address how technology is enabling faster decisions, more personalised products and improved accessibility for borrowers who have historically been underserved by traditional lenders.
