ARIVE Expands Wholesale Lender Marketplace with Integration of Forward Lending

San Ramon and Irvine, CA, March 10, 2026 — ARIVE, the industry’s leading all-in-one mortgage origination platform, today announced the integration of Forward Lending, a DBA of OCMBC, Inc, bringing the lender’s flexible wholesale mortgage solutions directly into the ARIVE platform. This partnership enables mortgage brokers nationwide to seamlessly access Forward Lending’s diverse product offerings while leveraging ARIVE’s modern, end-to-end digital workflow.

Through this integration, brokers can now easily price and compare Conventional, Government, Non-QM, DSCR, Jumbo, and second lien products from Forward Lending within ARIVE’s unified system. By eliminating the need to switch between multiple platforms, brokers gain greater efficiency, faster loan structuring, and a streamlined experience that supports higher productivity and improved borrower outcomes.

Forward Lending combines deep product flexibility with a broker-first service model designed to support complex borrower scenarios. With solutions tailored for non-traditional borrowers and specialty programs, the lender helps brokers expand their product mix and confidently structure loans that may fall outside standard guidelines. Integrated technology within ARIVE reduces operational friction, accelerates loan submissions, and allows brokers to move from pricing scenarios to completed submissions more quickly.

“At Forward Lending, our mission is simple: deliver the speed, quality, and service brokers need to win, from a lender they can trust,” said Juju McIntire, EVP and Co-Founder of Forward Lending. “We combine flexible lending solutions with streamlined technology and a high-touch team approach to ensure every loan moves forward with clarity and confidence.”

Forward Lending joined ARIVE to align with a modern, broker-focused technology platform that centralizes origination, pricing, and borrower engagement within one connected environment. By integrating directly into brokers’ existing workflows, the partnership allows loan officers to operate more efficiently while providing borrowers with a modern digital mortgage experience.

“ARIVE was built to empower brokers with the technology and lender access they need to succeed in today’s market,” said Harish Tejwani, Founder and CEO of ARIVE. “Integrating Forward Lending into the ARIVE platform expands our network with a lender known for flexibility, responsive service, and creative solutions for complex borrower scenarios. Together, we’re helping brokers close more loans with greater efficiency.”

Forward Lending’s presence on ARIVE also supports the lender’s nationwide growth strategy by increasing accessibility within brokers’ daily tools while maintaining its commitment to high service standards and responsive communication.
