Fintech firm Sikoia has announced the launch of a new partnership with loan origination platform, Mast.

The move will see Mast integrate Sikoia’s AI-powered application document processing solution into its platform, to streamline case handling and improve the overall user experience.

Sikoia automates tasks such as income, employer, and affordability checks directly from customer-submitted documents, including payslips, bank statements, and tax returns.

The Sikoia platform also automatically verifies document authenticity, detects signs of tampering, and checks whether each document meets the specific lender policy requirements for the application.

“Speed and accuracy are essential in today’s mortgage landscape to meaningfully enhance the customer experience,” said Sikoia founder and CEO, Alexis Rog.

“Our partnership with Mast helps deliver that, cutting processing times, reducing errors, and enabling a smoother journey for borrowers and brokers alike.”

By embedding Sikoia’s technology into its origination platform, Mast clients can now reduce document handling costs and time by over 75%, automate identification of gaps and verification of key data points, as well as cut document analysis errors to below 1%, according to the firm’s figures.

Co-founder and CEO at Mast, Joy Abisaab, added: “We’re committed to helping lenders process applications faster and more intelligently. Partnering with Sikoia adds a powerful layer of document automation and data verification to our platform – enabling our clients to operate more efficiently while delivering a superior customer experience.”
