MeridianLink Inc.

MLNK

We are a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for financial institutions, including banks, credit unions, mortgage lenders, specialty lending providers, and consumer reporting agencies, or CRAs—providing services to 1,925 customers, including 63 of the leading 100 credit unions per Credit Unions Online (as of September 2020), and a majority of the financial institutions on Forbes’ 2020 lists of America’s Best Credit Unions and Banks. Financial institutions are undergoing a digital transformation as they seek to transition business models, enhance or create new revenue streams, and increase client engagement.

We support our customers’ digital transformations by helping them create a superior client experience with our mission-critical loan origination software, or LOS, digital lending platform, and data analytics. Our solutions allow our customers to meet their clients’ financial needs across the institution, which enables improved client acquisition and retention. Additionally, our solutions allow our customers to operate more efficiently by enabling automated loan decisioning and enhanced risk management.

Our software solutions operate at the center of financial institutions’ technology ecosystems and help our customers drive additional business volume, both directly and indirectly through our extensive network of integrations and partner relationships, or Partner Marketplace. Our omni-channel borrowing experience integrates the full spectrum of touch points a borrower may have with our customers—remotely via the web or a mobile app, in person at a branch, or telephonically through a client service representative. In addition to providing a streamlined workflow for our customers, which has been refined over 20 years with feedback from across our customer base, our Partner Marketplace provides them with optional integrations powered by our more than 580 partners as of December 31, 2020. We believe that the collective capabilities offered through our Partner Marketplace further distinguishes our solutions from those of our competitors.

We believe that our position in the credit union space provides stability to our business. According to the National Credit Union Administration, or NCUA, credit unions’ net worth, defined as the retained earnings balance, has increased $12.1 billion, or 6.8% year-over-year, to $190.3 billion as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, as reported by the NCUA, total assets in federally insured credit unions rose by $278 billion, or 17.7% year-over-year, to $1.84 trillion as of December 31, 2020 and, from December 2000 through December 2020, total assets in federally insured credit unions increased by $1.41 trillion, representing a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 7.5%.
