Alkami to Host Webinar with Rally Credit Union and Cornerstone Advisors on Accelerating Loan Growth Through Modern Lending Experiences

Industry experts to explore evolving borrower expectations, lending modernization strategies, and how Rally Credit Union achieved 40% year-over-year growth in online loan volume with MANTL Point-of-Sale

PLANO, Texas, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) ("Alkami"), a digital sales and service platform provider for financial institutions in the U.S., today announced that it will host an upcoming webinar, "Accelerating Loan Growth: How Financial Institutions Can Compete with a Better Borrower Experience," on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, at 1 p.m. EST. The webinar will explore how banks and credit unions can overcome growing competition, evolving borrower expectations, and operational challenges to convert more lending opportunities through better lending technology.

The webinar will feature Alissa Gonzales, vice president of lending at Rally Credit Union; Daryl Jones, senior director at Cornerstone Advisors; and Nicholas Moore, product manager at Alkami. Speakers will discuss strategies for improving application conversion, accelerating lending decisions, and determining whether a modern Point-of-Sale (POS) solution or end-to-end Loan Origination System (LOS) best aligns with a financial institution's lending goals. Attendees will also hear real-world lending outcomes and see a live demonstration of the MANTL Loan Origination Platform.

Rally Credit Union, a Texas-based credit union serving more than 230,000 members, will share how it leveraged MANTL Onboarding & Account Opening to create a connected origination experience across loans and deposits, achieving:

• Significant growth in online lending: Increased online loan volume by 40% year-over-year with MANTL POS.
• Higher application conversion: Achieved a 90% average loan application submission rate, helping convert more prospective borrowers into completed applications.
• Faster, more streamlined borrower experiences: Enabled borrowers to complete and submit loan applications in an average of just 4.25 minutes.
• Accelerated deposit growth: Funded $290 million in deposits in less than 12 months.

"When Rally Credit Union began evaluating our lending technology, our priority was creating a consistent, intuitive experience for members, whether they were opening a deposit account or applying for a loan, online or in a branch," said Gonzales. "We wanted more flexibility and control over the application experience. The MANTL Platform allowed us to modernize that experience without replacing our existing LOS, while giving us greater visibility into the application journey and opportunities to improve conversion. The results speak for themselves, with more members completing applications and a 40% increase in online loan volume year-over-year."

The MANTL Platform offers financial institutions multiple paths to lending modernization through its POS solution and end-to-end LOS. The MANTL POS provides a configurable, borrower-facing application experience that integrates with existing lending infrastructure, while MANTL Loan Origination supports the full lending lifecycle, from application and underwriting through decisioning and funding.

"Financial institutions have an enormous opportunity to grow lending by rethinking the experience they deliver to applicants," said Moore. "Today's borrowers expect speed, simplicity, and convenience across every interaction, whether they're applying for a loan through digital banking channels or visiting a physical branch. Meeting those expectations doesn't always require replacing a financial institution's entire lending infrastructure. Rally's success demonstrates the impact that a more intuitive, connected lending experience can have on business performance."

"Lending technology should align with strategy, not a features list," said Jones. "Financial institutions should determine where they want to differentiate, where automation is absolutely required, and how quickly they can put those capabilities into practice. The institutions best positioned for the future are aligning speed, automation, and transparency across the entire lending journey."
