OpenClose

Overview

OpenClose is a 100% browser-based mortgage LOS suite that unifies digital point-of-sale, loan origination, product and pricing engine, and business intelligence into a single platform. MeridianLink completed its acquisition of OpenClose in November 2022. The standalone OpenClose brand site has been retired, and openclose.com now redirects to a MeridianLink page. MeridianLink was itself acquired by Centerbridge Partners in October 2025 and delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. OpenClose's differentiator is the all-in-one architecture — rather than stitching together separate POS, LOS, and PPE systems, everything runs on one codebase with shared data. OpenClose's own 2022 press materials said the suite cuts the cost to manufacture loans by up to 40 percent and reduces processing and underwriting cycle times by up to 50 percent. The suite has multi-channel capabilities spanning retail, wholesale, correspondent, and consumer-direct channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does OpenClose cost?

OpenClose pricing is estimated at $150–$500 per user per month with implementation costs of $25K–$75K. The all-in-one architecture that combines POS, LOS, PPE, and BI eliminates the need for multiple vendor subscriptions, which can make the total cost of ownership more competitive than it initially appears.

Does OpenClose integrate with Fiserv and Jack Henry?

Yes. OpenClose integrates with major core banking platforms including Fiserv, Jack Henry, FIS, and Symitar. These integrations support depositories that need connectivity between their core banking system and OpenClose's unified mortgage origination platform.

Is OpenClose good for multi-channel mortgage lenders?

Yes, OpenClose is specifically designed for lenders operating across retail, wholesale, correspondent, and consumer-direct channels. Its unified POS, LOS, and pricing engine platform means all channels share the same data and workflows, eliminating the multi-vendor integration challenges that multi-channel lenders typically face.

How does the MeridianLink acquisition affect OpenClose?

MeridianLink completed its acquisition of OpenClose in November 2022, and MeridianLink was itself acquired by Centerbridge Partners in October 2025. While the acquisition provides stronger financial backing and broader product integration opportunities, it creates some overlap with MeridianLink Mortgage, and buyers should clarify the long-term product roadmap.
