Case Study: Open Mortgage achieves TRID compliance in 50 days with MeridianLink's LendingQB

Open Mortgage - Customer Case Study

Open Mortgage, an Austin-based lender, faced a looming TRID compliance deadline and the limitations of its proprietary loan origination system—most notably no integration with Fannie Mae’s automated underwriting. After researching 13 LOS vendors and experiencing a failed implementation with another provider, Open Mortgage turned to MeridianLink’s LendingQB to replace their legacy system and meet regulatory requirements.

MeridianLink implemented LendingQB using a Lean Lending best-practice model, an empowered implementation team structure, and weekly executive-led coordination, enabling rapid parallel workstreams and fewer customizations. The result: Open Mortgage had its first live loan in LendingQB just 50 days after kickoff—16 days ahead of TRID—and accomplished in 50 days what the prior vendor had not in 50 weeks, delivering measurable speed, responsiveness, and a successful TRID launch.
