Acquisition will provide financial institutions with greater functionality and choice for digital account opening and loan origination solutions on a best-of-breed digital banking platform
Alkami Technology, Inc., a leading cloud-based digital banking solutions provider for US financial institutions, announced it has finalized its acquisition of MK Decisioning Systems, LLC (“MK” or “MK Decision”), a technology platform and provider for digital account opening, credit card, and loan origination solutions. The acquisition reinforces and expands Alkami’s position as a best-of-breed digital banking platform provider that designs secure solutions across the user journey, from acquisition to engagement to conversion.
