Vilja, the Sweden-based cloud core banking platform provider, is accelerating its expansion into the UK market with mortgage origination partner Mast.

By integrating Mast’s mortgage origination platform into Vilja’s existing platform for Deposits and Mortgage Servicing, the companies can offer the UK market a superior, seamless, and end-to-end mortgage experience.

This strategic partnership will help Building Societies streamline operations, improve efficiency, and foster innovation across their channels. Mast and Vilja’s solutions are built for automation and self-service with an API-first architecture.

“Our joint cloud-native approach empowers Building Societies to customise system performance to their precise needs and preferences. This ensures an end-to-end banking platform that seamlessly meets modern customer demands,” said Joy Joseph Abisaab, CEO at Mast.

“We are thrilled to partner with Mast, as we share the same mindset, and our solutions complement each other perfectly. As the leading new-school vendor in the Nordics, we believe now is the right time to enter the UK market, and we are here to stay,” added Fredrik Ulvenholm, CEO at Vilja.

Mast’s cloud-native mortgage origination platform enables lenders to increase capacity, reduce costs and strengthen operational controls. Available as a self-hosted SaaS platform, the Mast Origination Platform (MOP) is fully managed by Mast, ensuring performance, operational resilience, and continuous deployment. The platform enables lenders to operate more efficiently, react faster to changing market conditions, and focus on offering the best service possible, transforming the buying journey for the borrower.

Vilja is one of the leading cloud-native core banking platform vendors in the Nordics. The pre-packaged deposit and lending solutions have a modular design, and customers choose whether they need an end-to-end solution or specific products. The platform is highly automated and configurable to enable quick time to market and improved efficiency.
