About Athena

The big banks are definitely having a lend… locking borrowers into a life sentence, charging them for sneezing, and giving 0% interest in treating customers like people. We know, we used to work for them. Enter Athena, the Game-Changing Goddess of Good Stuff. She spoke to us (well it was more of a roasting) and talked of a brighter future where people could be freed of their mortgage handcuffs. “It’s not about getting a home loan, it’s about getting rid of a £#!*ing home loan!” She was right. We did the sums, and worked out that without the big bank costs and complications, and by creating our own ground-breaking tech platform that enables us to bypass the banks to access new methods of funding, then we actually could slice a pretty huge chunk of time and money off the life of the loan. Finding a short-cut to financial freedom, Athena’s vision is now a reality. Now you can enjoy a home loan with a whole new level of service, speed and savings.
