US-based financial data platform MX has signed a reseller agreement with MeridianLink to integrate the former’s Instant Account Verification (IAV) into MeridianLink Opening.

 

MeridianLink Opening allows consumers to open and fund new deposit accounts quickly. By integrating with MX, consumers can leverage fast verification technologies to instantly provide the information they need to verify and connect their external financial accounts, which ensures a more seamless user experience, mitigates fraud and risk, and increases conversion.

According to MeridianLink’s representatives, by integrating its MX’s IAV solution into MeridianLink Opening, the consumers served by their FI clients can quickly verify their account information to fund new deposit accounts, which will reduce drop-offs during the onboarding process and ultimately help the bottom line of the institution.
