Alkami Technology’s MANTL unit announced a partnership with MeridianLink to deliver an integrated point‑of‑sale (POS) loan‑origination solution. The collaboration links MANTL’s fast, API‑driven digital front‑end with MeridianLink’s underwriting engine and LOS workflows, enabling instant approvals, automated KYC checks, and seamless application transfers for banks and credit unions that use MeridianLink’s consumer loan origination system.

The integration gives financial institutions a fintech‑grade lending experience that includes hyper‑personalized cross‑sell opportunities and real‑time decisioning. By combining MANTL’s rapid account‑opening capabilities with MeridianLink’s established underwriting platform, Alkami expands its reach into the consumer‑lending market and reinforces its position as a one‑stop digital sales and service platform.

Alkami’s strategic rationale for the partnership is rooted in its March 2025 acquisition of MANTL for $400 million, which added a high‑velocity account‑opening engine to Alkami’s portfolio. In Q2 2025, Alkami reported revenue of $112.1 million, a 36% year‑over‑year increase, and adjusted EBITDA of $11.9 million. The MANTL acquisition was expected to contribute revenue and an adjusted EBITDA loss in 2025, underscoring the company’s focus on scaling its digital ecosystem.

MeridianLink is a leading provider of loan‑origination software, and the partnership positions Alkami against competitors that offer integrated POS solutions. The move aligns with the broader fintech trend toward end‑to‑end solutions that streamline the customer journey for financial institutions, particularly in account opening and loan origination.

The partnership targets mutual clients of MANTL and MeridianLink, aiming to accelerate adoption of the integrated solution and broaden Alkami’s market share in consumer lending. While specific financial impact figures are not disclosed, the integration is expected to generate incremental revenue and strengthen Alkami’s competitive positioning in the consumer‑lending space.
