IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MeridianLink, Inc., a leading provider of modern software platforms for financial institutions and consumer reporting agencies, today announced it has been named a winner of the 2026 HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage Award. The recognition marks MeridianLink’s sixth consecutive year earning this distinction. The award recognizes MeridianLink^® Insight for Mortgage and MeridianLink’s continued innovation and impact in advancing mortgage lending through technology that streamlines operations, strengthens compliance, and enhances the borrower experience.

As mortgage lenders increasingly prioritize automation, configurability, and ecosystem connectivity, MeridianLink continues to invest in solutions that support modern digital lending strategies and long-term growth.

MeridianLink Insight for Mortgage is an out-of-the-box intelligence and analytics solution built specifically for mortgage lending. It delivers ready-to-use dashboards and reports from day one, managing data collection, visualization, and reporting without months of setup. The solution combines powerful analytics, real-time peer benchmarking, and deep borrower insights from the MeridianLink^® Mortgage LOS, the SaaS-based, end-to-end loan origination system designed to help lenders process compliant loans quickly and efficiently. The platform’s scalable architecture, robust open APIs, and broad integration ecosystem enable seamless workflows across the mortgage lifecycle, empowering lenders to accelerate time to close while maintaining regulatory confidence.

“We’re honored to receive the HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage Award for the sixth year in a row,” said JP Kelly, Senior Vice President of Mortgage at MeridianLink. “This recognition reflects our continued focus on delivering powerful, intuitive mortgage technology that helps lenders navigate operational challenges, adapt to market conditions, and deliver better experiences for both borrowers and internal teams.”

Now in its fourteenth year, the Tech100 program provides housing professionals with a trusted, comprehensive list of the organizations bringing meaningful solutions to the industry. The list serves as a valuable resource for mortgage lenders, servicers, and real estate professionals seeking proven partners and solutions to address today’s most pressing operational and market challenges.

“Technology is no longer a nice-to-have, and it’s not defined by partnership announcements that fail to deliver meaningful progress,” said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. “Today, technology is the business strategy. The right tech stack now determines who can recruit top talent, gain market share, and expand margins. The 2026 Tech100 honorees bring both innovation and impact. They’re growing, their teams are winning, and they’re pulling ahead in the race for scale and consumer relevance.”
