Its cloud-native mobile platform allows borrowers to make payments and manage escrow accounts while avoiding time-consuming call centers, inaccurate information and poorly designed websites. In turn, lenders can use the platform to request API feeds to gather information on customer performance.The company is aiming to disrupt and bring down the costs in a market that it sees as heavily monopolized, and which is largely devoid of customer-oriented innovation. Currently, mortgage servicing giant Black Knight controls over half of all residential loans in the US, the result of which has seen a 250% increase in servicing costs in the last decade.Valon's growth so far has been remarkable. The company went from zero contracts in 2019 to $65 billion in mortgages in 2024, with a 400% year-on-year growth. Its remarkable growth attracted over $169 million in funding in 2024. On top of this boost, it has further diversified its capabilities to include servicing government-sponsored home loans from the Federal National Mortgage Association.FreddieCompany Specialist at Welcome to the Jungle
