S1 E17: Nora Apsel, Co-Founder of Morty | Fintech and Financial Freedom | Women in Fintech

Home ownership has the power to make or break financial health. Meet Nora, a fintech trailblazer and founder at the forefront of the mortgage revolution.

Mortgages account for two-thirds of household debt. Owning your own home can go one of two ways: It can set you up for life or start a steep decline into financial problems that quickly spiral. That’s where Nora and Morty come in. When you’re looking to take on the biggest debt of your life, you need to do it the smart way. Morty helps buyers find exactly what they need, all online and with the greatest amount of choice.

Nicole and Nora talk about her background as an engineer, crunch the numbers around women in IT and engineering, and discuss why applying fintech to financial services is a catalyst for positive change.

You’ll hear Nora’s thoughts on why mortgages and homebuying have fallen behind other financial services like credit cards, why the complexities of homebuying hold up innovation, and how she has grown more comfortable in her role as a first time CEO and founder.

All fintech founders accept that with growth comes risk, but Sift offers end-to-end protection against fraud risks that can slow your business down. You can find out more here: www.sift.com
