Loading player...
Since launching a decade back, Sydney-based fintech AltX has facilitated R35bn in mortgage loans for retail investors. The three relocated South Africans who created the company, built a platform that enables individuals to assume the role of mortgage-issuing banks, democratising a sector previously the preserve of financial Goliaths. In this podcast, AltX co-founder Nick Raphaely explains the nuts and bolts of the business to BizNews editor Alec Hogg; shares how it has achieved a zero bad debt record (hint: only first mortgage bonds + huge margin of safety); and unpacks why the internet-based platform makes it possible for investors anywhere who have R500 000, can acquire this low-risk asset that delivers a net yield of between 5% and 8% in Aussie Dollars.
