About LXA
LXA is Asia's first digital E2E mortgage platform connecting non-depository institutional capital to retail mortgage borrowers. Mortgages comprise 70% of consumer credit in most developed markets and are a fundamental building block of many developed economies. Today, the vast majority of mortgages in Asia are funded by bank deposits. Contrast this with the US and the EU, where non-deposit capital is a significant source of mortgage funding.
The team brings to bear decades of experience in asset management, insurance and mortgage markets, and is led by co-founders Kishore Moorjani (former Senior MD and Head of Tact Ops, Blackstone Asia) and Shawn Low (Co-founder and former exec, Better). The company is backed by world-class venture investors New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Openspace Ventures (OSV), and the investment arm of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDBI), alongside other institutional partners to reimagine Asia’s mortgage ecosystem.
