Industry experts will discuss the changing expectations of borrowers, strategies for loan modernization, and how Rally Credit Union can achieve a 40% year-on-year increase in online loan volume with the help of MANTL Point - of-Sale.

Plano, Texas, USA, November 4th / PRNewswire / -- Alkami Technology, which provides digital sales and service platforms for financial institutions in the United States, Inc (Nasdaq ticker: ALKT, hereinafter referred to as “Alkami”), announced today that it will host an upcoming webinar on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, titled “Accelerating Loan Growth: How Financial Institutions Can Compete with a Better Borrower Experience (Accelerating Loan Growth: How Financial Institutions Can Compete by Providing a Better Borrower Experience)”. This webinar will discuss how banks and credit unions can use better lending technologies to cope with increasingly fierce competition, changing borrower expectations, and operational challenges, thereby transforming more loan opportunities.

The guests at this seminar include Rally Credit Union, Vice President of Loans; Alissa Gonzales; Cornerstone Advisors, Senior Director; Daryl Jones; and Nicholas Moore, Product Manager. The speakers will discuss how to improve application conversion rates, accelerate loan decision-making, and determine whether modern point-of-sale (Point-of-Sale, POS) solutions or end-to-end loan disbursement systems (Loan Origination System, LOS) are more in line with the lending objectives of financial institutions. Participants will also hear about real loan success stories and watch a live demonstration by MANTL Loan Origination Platform.

Rally Credit Union, headquartered in Texas and serving over 230,000 members, will share how it utilizes MANTL Onboarding & Account Opening to create a seamless initiation experience between loans and deposits, achieving the following results:

• Online loans see significant growth: With the help of MANTL POS, the volume of online loans increased by 40% year-on-year.
• Higher application conversion rate: The average loan application submission rate reaches 90%, helping to convert more potential borrowers into those who have completed their applications.
• Faster and smoother borrower experience: Borrowers only need an average of 4.25 minutes to complete and submit their loan applications.
• Accelerated deposit growth: Raised $290 million in deposits in less than 12 months.

Gonzales indicates that "when Rally Credit Union began to evaluate our lending technology, our top priority was to create a consistent and intuitive experience for members, whether they were opening deposit accounts online or at branch offices, or applying for loans. We wanted to have more flexibility and control over the application process. The MANTL platform allowed us to modernize the experience without replacing our existing LOS, while also giving us a clearer view of the application process and enabling us to identify opportunities to improve conversion rates. The results speak for themselves: more members completed their applications, and the volume of online loans increased by 40% year-over-year."

MANTL The platform offers financial institutions multiple modernization paths for lending through its POS solutions and end-to-end LOS. MANTL POS provides a configurable, borrower-oriented application experience that can be integrated with existing lending infrastructure; whereas MANTL Loan Origination supports the entire loan lifecycle from application to underwriting, decision-making, and disbursement.

Moore indicates that financial institutions have tremendous opportunities for loan growth by rethinking the experience they provide to applicants. Today's borrowers expect speed, simplicity, and convenience in every interaction, whether they are applying for loans through digital banking channels or visiting physical branches. Meeting these expectations does not always require replacing an entire loan infrastructure of financial institutions. The success of Rally demonstrates that a more intuitive and interconnected loan experience can have an impact on business performance.

Jones indicates that 'loan technology should match the strategy, rather than just focusing on a list of features. Financial institutions need to be clear about in which areas they wish to differentiate themselves, which processes absolutely require automation, and how quickly they can implement these capabilities. The institutions that are most likely to gain an advantage in the future are those that are simultaneously advancing speed, automation, and transparency throughout the entire loan process.'
