MANTL, a provider of account origination solutions founded in 2017, announced Wednesday it is entering the consumer loan origination business.

A news release from the private company based Jersey City, N.J., says it is “creating one seamless platform for loan and deposit origination.” It says its platform will “help banks and credit unions supercharge growth, create real-time cross-sell opportunities, improve customer and employee experience, and benefit from underwriting automation and enhanced back-office efficiency.”

Other origination systems say they offer similar benefits.

Benjamin Conant, MANTL’s co-founder and chief technology officer, said customers applying for a deposit account will be able to receive real- time, pre-approved loan offers at the point of sale, and then progress to a fully funded loan within seconds in the same session.

“The ability to enhance cross-sell opportunities, deliver instant value, and deepen customer and member relationships are endless,” Conant said.
MANTL entered the loan origination market in early 2024 with the launch of a digital Small Business Administration (SBA) loan application that was built in partnership with Grasshopper Bank. In June, Grasshopper launched the application, which is designed to allow small business owners to get pre-qualified for an SBA 7(a) loan at Grasshopper Bank in less than 10 minutes.
