Indirect lending provides point-of-sale financing solutions to increase borrower reach. Financial institutions use it to tap into new borrower segments and markets, accelerate credit approvals, and provide instant loan options, all in service of a more seamless, satisfying consumer experience.

In a recent overview of third-party integrations available on MeridianLink^® Marketplace, we shared more details on the indirect lending solutions offered through our vendor partners, LoanStar and Open Lending.

Extend your market reach and spur additional growth by strategically tapping into subprime lending segments with integrations available on the MeridianLink Marketplace.

LoanStar provides point-of-sale financing that connects institutions with people who need a funding source for a purpose-built loan, such as home improvement. Alongside personal unsecured options, they now offer HELOC options, as well, for consumers who may not have a relationship with a large financial institution or aren't aware of their community lenders.

In the subprime auto lending realm, Open Lending uses alternative data sources to identify credit-worthy consumers who may not qualify for loans through traditional methods.

For example, it could allow a consumer with a suboptimal credit score but a perfect record of bill repayment - demonstrating less credit risk to the institution - to have loan options they otherwise may not receive. To ensure that the institution isn't taking undue risk, Open Lending also uses alternative underwriting practices and credit protection.
