Teslar Software Acquires Patient Lending Division of Epic River, a Kinective Company

Acquisition expands Teslar's lending platform while ensuring continuity and future innovation for financial institution partners

SPRINGDALE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teslar Software announced today that the company has acquired the patient lending division of Epic River, a Kinective company, to expand Teslar's lending capabilities while preserving an established platform for financial institutions serving the healthcare lending market.

Kinective integrates with and supports a vast network of partner platforms—including Teslar and other loan origination solutions—offering purpose-built technology to more than 4,300 financial institutions. Following Kinective’s acquisition of Epic River in 2025, which expanded the company’s document workflow capabilities, Teslar and Kinective recognized an opportunity to ensure Epic River’s patient lending platform and customer relationships continued to grow under a team dedicated to lending innovation.

“Community financial institutions understand the people they serve better than anyone, and we’re excited to give them more ways to meet those lending needs,” said Joe Ehrhardt, CEO and founder of Teslar Software. “This acquisition reflects our commitment to helping community institutions expand access to patient lending and other types of community-focused lending.”

Existing Epic River customers will continue receiving support while benefiting from Teslar's expertise in lending operations, workflow automation, and technology built specifically for financial institutions. Teslar will invest in extending and enhancing the platform’s capabilities, improving the user experience, and delivering continued innovation for both lenders and borrowers.

As part of the acquisition, customers’ existing integrations will continue to be supported through Teslar's ongoing strategic partnership with Kinective. Customers can expect continuity in the integrations they rely on today, with more lending enhancements to come in the future.

"We are thrilled that the community banks and credit unions who have provided Epic River Patient Lending to their local healthcare providers can continue seamlessly helping their communities through Teslar," said Jeff Grobaski, senior vice president of product strategy at Kinective. "Teslar shares our passion for community-focused financial solutions, making them ideal to lead this initiative into its next chapter."
