Skip invests further into broker channel and launches NextGen integration

High-growth home loan lender Skip has integrated with NextGen’s market-leading ApplyOnline^® platform, marking another major investment in the broker channel as the lender continues accelerating national distribution growth.

The integration will see Skip transition from its proprietary broker lodgement platform to ApplyOnline, streamlining broker workflows and leveraging NextGen’s extensive integration across aggregator CRM systems.

The move comes as Skip expands its aggregator footprint following strong growth since launching onto its first aggregator panel in 2025. The lender is expected to announce three further aggregator partnerships in the coming months.

Skip CEO and co-Founder Mario Emmanuel said the integration reflected the company’s focus on delivering a simple and seamless experience for brokers.

“Everything we do at Skip is focused on making the experience simple and easy for both customers and brokers,” Mario Emmanuel said. “Moving to NextGen’s ApplyOnline was a logical step in making it easier for brokers to work with us through systems and workflows they already know and trust. As we continue scaling our broker distribution, we want to ensure brokers can access Skip through the platforms they use every day.”

NextGen Strategic Partnerships Manager, Marcus Walley, said Skip’s decision to integrate reflects the central role ApplyOnline plays in connecting lenders with brokers at scale.

“Skip is a technology-first lender with a clear vision for the broker channel. Their decision to partner with NextGen reflects the advantage that comes with being part of the platform brokers use every day — something lenders of any size can tap into from day one.”

The NextGen integration follows a period of significant momentum for Skip, including its launch onto the Loan Market Group (LMG) panel in August 2025 and its addition to the Outsource Financial panel earlier this year.
