MeridianLink and Optimal Blue announced Wednesday that they’ve reached an agreement to integrate their technology platforms, with the joint solution expected to be available to customers in early 2026.
Under the partnership, mortgage users of MeridianLink’s loan origination system will gain access to Optimal Blue’s real-time product, pricing and eligibility (PPE) engine. The integration is designed to automate workflows, reduce manual processes and improve pricing accuracy.
“Today’s mortgage market demands speed, accuracy, and a seamless borrower journey,” JP Kelly, senior vice president for MeridianLink Mortgage, said a statement.
Optimal Blue provides the mortgage industry with an end-to-end capital markets platform. Through the integration, MeridianLink users will be able to access real-time pricing across thousands of products and more than 150 investors.
“Access to proven, accurate product and pricing information is the foundation of every successful mortgage transaction,” Mike Vough, senior vice president of corporate strategy at Optimal Blue, said a statement.
MeridianLink has positioned itself as an open, extensible platform connecting financial institutions with technology providers across the lending life cycle. The company recently hired Raj Patel as chief technology officer.
In August 2025, MeridianLink also announced an agreement to be acquired by global investment firm Centerbridge Partners in a transaction valued at $2 billion.
