It's been a brilliant evening for Habito by Monzo at the British Mortgage Awards 2026, with both our CEO Ying Tan and VP of Advice & Growth Will Rhind recognised for their outstanding leadership.
The awards celebrate the people driving positive change across the UK mortgage industry. This year's winners highlight leaders who aren't just delivering results today, but helping shape what comes next.
We're incredibly proud to see two members of our leadership team recognised alongside the very best in the industry.
Our CEO, Ying Tan, was awarded Business Leader: Development & Innovation Advocate, recognising his commitment to bringing fresh thinking to the mortgage industry while continuing to deliver meaningful results for customers and colleagues alike.
The judges said:
"Ying impressed the judges with his ability to combine innovation with delivery. His leadership continues to drive growth, collaboration and positive customer outcomes across the industry."
Innovation has always been part of Habito's DNA. From making mortgages simpler through technology to exploring how AI can improve the home-buying journey, we're constantly looking for better ways to help more people get the keys to a home they love.
Our VP of Advice & Growth, Will Rhind, won Business Leader: Broker (11–50 Advisers).
The judges praised Will's leadership, saying:
"Will showed resilience, self-awareness and the ability to inspire those around him. His transparent leadership style earned the respect of both colleagues and peers."
Will leads one of the most experienced advice teams in the industry, helping thousands of customers every year navigate one of life's biggest financial decisions.
His award reflects the culture we've worked hard to build—one where technology makes things simpler, but great people remain at the heart of every mortgage journey.
While these awards celebrate two individuals, they're also recognition of the people behind Habito by Monzo.
