For Technology Partners

Supply the Technology Rail for Governed Institutional Lending

Mainlynk selects technology providers to supply the software, APIs, lender connectivity, workflow, routing execution, decisioning, and automation rails beneath the Mainlynk governance layer. Technology partners supply the rail — Mainlynk governs how institutions use it.

What Mainlynk Looks for in Technology Partners

Mainlynk is not a technology reseller and does not receive vendor compensation for technology recommendations. Technology partners are selected based on institutional fit, conflict disclosure, and the ability to supply a defined rail beneath the Mainlynk governance layer. Partners contract directly with institutions.

  • Supply a defined technology rail — not a bundled solution that replaces institutional judgment
  • Contract directly with institutions — Mainlynk does not intermediate the vendor relationship
  • Operate under full conflict disclosure — Mainlynk discloses any compensation arrangement to the institution
  • Support the Mainlynk governance layer — technology partners do not govern the network or the institution

How It Works

Technology Beneath the Governance Layer

Mainlynk selects technology providers through an independent advisory process. Technology providers supply the software rail and contract directly with institutions. Mainlynk governs how institutions use the technology — not the technology itself.

Common Questions

What Technology Partners Ask

Does Mainlynk receive compensation from technology vendors?

Mainlynk discloses any compensation arrangement to the institution before a technology recommendation is made. Independent advisory means the institution receives the recommendation with full visibility into any financial relationship between Mainlynk and the provider. Mainlynk does not act as a reseller or receive undisclosed vendor compensation.

What does it mean to supply the technology rail?

The technology rail is the software, APIs, lender connectivity, workflow, routing execution, decisioning, and automation infrastructure beneath the Mainlynk governance layer. Technology partners supply this rail — they do not govern the network, make credit decisions, or define the institutional operating model. Mainlynk governs how institutions use the rail.

How does a technology provider get selected for the Mainlynk Network?

Technology providers are assessed through Mainlynk's independent advisory process, which evaluates institutional fit, conflict disclosure, and the ability to supply a defined rail. Selection is based on the institution's needs — not on vendor relationships. Providers contract directly with institutions after selection.
