Habito was first launched in April 2016 by Daniel Hegarty, a former Wonga employee. The idea first came to Daniel after he went through the experience of applying for a mortgage himself, and found it to be an annoying and time-consuming process.

In addition, the process led him to nearly lose out on his dream home due to the outdated mortgage application process. Daniel took things into his own hands and started brainstorming how he could create a much more efficient mortgage broker model, that would be completely free for consumers to use.
