Takara Capital

Takara Capital develops financial technology solutions designed to optimize mortgage portfolios for banks and credit unions. Its core offering facilitates payoff discount solutions, enabling financial institutions to reduce Net Interest Margin pressure and enhance balance sheet flexibility. The company achieves this by adapting proven models from other countries, specifically the Danish mortgage system, to introduce greater liquidity and flexibility into the U.S. housing market.

The company was co-founded by Jonathan Arad, who serves as CEO, Eran Peter, the CFO, and Itamar Bar Tura, the CTO. These founders, leveraging their experience as fintech veterans and credit union executives, identified a critical bottleneck in the U.S. mortgage structure, where homeowners are often locked into low rates, leading to reduced mobility and liquidity challenges for lenders. Their insight centered on creating a mechanism to unlock trapped capital and stimulate housing market activity.

Takara Capital’s platform serves banks and credit unions seeking innovative ways to manage their mortgage assets and improve customer relationships. The company's long-term vision is to bridge homeownership affordability with robust capital strategy, thereby restoring essential mobility for borrowers and providing much-needed liquidity for lenders. This approach aims to benefit a broad spectrum of stakeholders within the financial and real estate ecosystems.
