Collaboration Expands MeridianLink Mortgage Capabilities to Deliver Greater Efficiency, Accuracy, and Consumer Value

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MeridianLink, the leading provider of modern lending and account opening solutions for financial institutions, today announced a relationship to integrate with Optimal Blue, the mortgage industry’s end-to-end capital markets platform. The integration will extend and strengthen the capabilities of MeridianLink^® Mortgage, part of the MeridianLink^® One platform, and will enable lenders to seamlessly access Optimal Blue’s real-time, accurate product, pricing, and eligibility (PPE) capabilities directly within the MeridianLink solution.

The collaboration brings together two industry leaders focused on transforming mortgage operations, providing lenders with a unified, automated workflow that powers pricing accuracy and reduces manual processes.

Going forward we will give customers the ability to utilize Optimal Blue’s pricing intelligence seamlessly from MeridianLink Mortgage.”

Through this integration, lenders using MeridianLink Mortgage will be able to access the Optimal Blue PPE’s accurate pricing across thousands of products and more than 150 investors in real time. This connectivity will allow users to streamline loan origination, reduce manual entry and potential errors, manage compliance with investor and agency guidelines, and deliver the most competitive pricing for every borrower scenario – all within a single workflow.

"Access to proven, accurate product and pricing information is the foundation of every successful mortgage transaction,” said Mike Vough, senior vice president of corporate strategy at Optimal Blue. “Optimal Blue’s integration with MeridianLink will give lenders using these solutions added confidence that they are delivering the most accurate and competitive options to borrowers, which is essential for building trust and driving the best-possible outcomes for lenders and homebuyers alike."
