G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. With LoansPQ I rally like having a PSM to help guide me, especially if I have a question on if the system can do this and I cannot find it in Knowledge Base. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Super easy to use and write training material on. The application is a workflow and optional booking validations help ensure that there are no compliance errors. The analyst side is very user friendly including the Mobile Banking (APM) platform. This system can be fully integrated with e-signing, NADA, Kelly Blue Book, and Ancillary Providers such as SWBC. #### Cons Would like more flexibility to add in a custom field in the application instead of having to add in a custom question. Also would like more updates on tickets that I submitted. I have to keep reaching out to LPQ support to see what is the status. Which always happens to have some programing issues that can take awhile to fix. #### Reasons for choosing MeridianLink Consumer N/A --- ### MeridianLink LoansPQ Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Don M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software integrates seamlessly with our various other software programs thereby substantially reducing the amount of time needed to process and fund a loan. The better the experience our members have in obtaining their loans with us, the more likely they are to return to us for their future loans. #### Cons The decision engine is by far the worst aspect of the software. With that being said, MeridianLink has told us they are committed to improving it in 2020 and ff they build what they told us they were going to build, we will be very pleased. #### Reasons for choosing MeridianLink Consumer Lending360 did not interface with DealerTrack and RouteOne and LoanPQ did. #### Reasons for switching to MeridianLink Consumer The CRIF product we were using did not integrate well with our core processor and our loan process was inefficient. --- ### Long time customer - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Leann W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Workflow capabilities are great. Automation is robust. Tons of plug ins to increase capability. Maps to the core system wonderfully. #### Cons Instant approval decision engine is limited --- ### MeridianLink - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Robin G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have worked on the LoansPQ for over 18 years and I have seen that the system is forever evolving to market trends and needs. Their Support team is the best, their Sales team is approachable and not smothering at all, their management is quick to resolve issues when needed. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Most people would never during a crisis that they enjoyed working with a partner but that isn't the case at all with MeridianLink. Their support team is calm, professional, and work proficiently to get any issue corrected for their clients. They take their time schedule meetings if they are needed to make sure the problem is resolved. I don't know of any company that credit union's partner with today that offers this and it just speaks to their culture of hiring the proper people to handle their customers need no matter how big or small. #### Cons Really there isn't anything that MeridianLink isn't already working on to improve #### Reasons for choosing MeridianLink Consumer There is nothing better out in the market place today. --- ### The Apple of LOS's - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kevin W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I think LoansPQ does a good job overall and it does what its supposed to do. I call it the Apple of LOS's because it does everything you need it to do but everything has to be done the way LoansPQ wants it to be done as oppose to creating a custom experience/approach that fits your organization's needs. I feel if the software was a bit more "open sourced" it would go along way. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Easy to learn, use, and administer. From a member experience, we rarely run into any issues or problems. There are some very good vendor integrations such as Lenders Protection and Allied Solutions Debt Protection, GAP, and MBP. It can handle a ton of traffic. #### Cons If you host your own servers, its difficult to coordinate times for updates. The LOS is not very customizable. It would be great if we could rename fields, make certain fields required/not required without the assistance of MeridianLink Support. The current user interface (although this is changing as we speak). The APM - it's not very customizable. #### Reasons for choosing MeridianLink Consumer It was implemented years before I started with my organization. --- ### LoansPQ Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: joshua t. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall the relationship has been valuable, they work with us to ensure that we are getting the value out of the product. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It allows for lending and deposit account opening all in one product. The applications can feed into one another, which streamlines the time to open an account/loan. It also has a built in cross selling tool that makes recommendations based on the credit history of the applicant. Their support is fantastic, we have never had a problem getting them to work with us on what we want to do. #### Cons The back office interface is dated and can be a little confusing to navigate. This is being address by Meridian Link and a refresh is in the works, but at the time of this writing it is still clunky. (9/5/2019) #### Reasons for choosing MeridianLink Consumer It was the best ROI with the most of our required features. --- ### Meridianlink System Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Patrick W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Meridinalink provides our staff and membership with an efficient, customizable experience across all channels. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The flexibility within the system to set up dynamic workflows and documents are the key to automating tasks and workflows. Automated Actions are critical to be able to set the system up for maximum automation. Meridianlink has a network of 3rd party providers that allows other functionality to be integrated within their ecosystem. #### Cons The system needs to be more consistent with the Business Rule set up. Dependent upon where you are in the system(ie. Custom Queues, Custom List, Product Setup, etc), the Business Rules to select from are different within these system functions. Meridianlink needs to have the options consistent across all functions. --- ### LoansPQ Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lindsey H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, LoansPQ has been an excellent product for us. They integrate with many of our vendors, making it a very streamlined process for our loan originators and member service representatives to use! I also really enjoy the capabilities to custom code or map items to our core and onto documents, being able to have that control is crucial for successful business operations. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros LoansPQ is a very easy product to use - very streamlined and the process workflow is well laid out for the user. #### Cons The only things that could really improve, is being able to add more fields and logic to the coding of reports, forms, etc. The development team at Meridian is very timely about seeing the needs of its users, and working towards resolutions. --- ### SEAMLESS APPLICATOIN - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: PONCIETTA C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I USE THE LOANSPQ FOR ALL OF THE BUSINESS LOANS THAT I DO. THE SOFTWARE IS EASY TO USE AND THE STEPS ARE EASY TO FOLLOW. OVERALL, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE USING THIS SOFTWARE AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE THAT IS LOOKING FOR A GREAT PRODUCT WITH A GREAT SUPPORT TEAM. THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF RESOURCES TO HELP WITH WHATEVER ISSUE YOU MAY HAVE. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros THIS PRODUCT IS VERY EASY TO USE. I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR MANY YEARS AND TODATE, I REALLY CANNOT SAY THAT I HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES. THERE HAVE BEEN HICCUPS ALONG THE WAY BUT IT IS USUALLY WITH THE OTHER VENDOR THAT I NEED TO ACCESS. THIS PRODUCT IS EASY TO INTEGRATE INTO THE OTHER PRODUCTS WE USE AND THE SUPPORT TEAM IS REALLY GREAT. THE RESPONSE TIME IS ALSO GREAT, ESPECIALLY IN THESE DAYS WHEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOREVER TO GET HELP FROM ANYONE ONLINE . #### Cons I HAVE NOT COME ACROSS ANYTHING THAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE. IT HAS BEEN ABLE TO FULFILL ALL OF THE NEEDS THAT I HAVE SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY, NOTHING. --- ### Loans PQ - Great Product and Value - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Karen M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
