CreditXpert Expands Partnership with MeridianLink to Offer its New Enterprise Platform to Consumer Reporting Agencies

BALTIMORE, July 13, 2023 — CreditXpert, the predictive credit score platform that helps lenders increase homeownership opportunities, has announced an expanded partnership with MeridianLink, Inc. (NYSE: MLNK), a leading provider of modern software platforms for financial institutions and consumer reporting agencies (CRAs). With the expanded relationship, CreditXpert’s new Enterprise Platform is now available to a vast majority of CRAs across the country.

“Partnering with MeridianLink to connect CRAs to our new platform means that thousands of lenders will now have access to our new platform and can more easily integrate data-driven solutions into their operations,” said CreditXpert CEO, Jim Hemmer. “We know that helping borrowers with solutions tailored to their needs presents an opportunity for lenders to both improve profits and make more compelling offers.”

CreditXpert’s proprietary predictive algorithms provide highly accurate credit improvement plans that are used daily by lenders to attract more leads, make better offers and close more loans by offering more affordable financing options for mortgage borrowers.

CreditXpert announced its new Enterprise Platform in October of 2022. The new platform helps lenders of any size immediately identify a borrower’s credit potential, generate detailed improvement plans with the click of a button and track completion through a single dashboard.

“We are always looking to expand our support of CRAs and lenders with differentiated offerings. Integrating the CreditXpert platform with our market-leading Mortgage Credit Link™ platform does just that by making credit a competitive differentiator,” said Chris Maloof, MeridianLink’s President, Go To Market. “We have enjoyed a long and close relationship with CreditXpert, and I’m excited about this next phase.”

NOVA Home Loans is the first lender to go live on the new Enterprise Platform, through this partnership.

“This is going to be a game changer for the NOVA Home Loans team,” said the lender’s Senior Vice-President of Lender Services Manny Hernandez. “The new CreditXpert platform is going to help us expand the reach of our “Home on the Horizon” program by helping us generate detailed improvement plans and communicate with borrowers in a more efficient way.”

“We are very excited to get our new Enterprise Platform into the hands of lenders who understand how important it is to consumers to get the best deal possible on a new home loan,” said CreditXpert CEO Jim Hemmer. “I’m very pleased with MeridianLink’s partnership in helping us fulfill our mission to help make homeownership more accessible and affordable for all.”
