Skip partners with NextGen as broker push gathers pace

The integration will see Skip, formerly Sucasa, transition from its proprietary broker lodgement portal to ApplyOnline, which is integrated across a range of aggregator CRM systems used by brokers.

ApplyOnline is a digital loan origination and lodgement platform that connects brokers with more than 60 lenders. The platform is integrated across a broad range of aggregator CRM systems and includes features, such as digital identity verification, automated income verification through open banking, and real-time application tracking.

Skip said the move is designed to simplify broker workflows and improve accessibility as the lender scales distribution.

Skip CEO and co-founder Mario Emmanuel said the integration aligned with the lender’s broader strategy of streamlining the experience for brokers and customers.

“Everything we do at Skip is focused on making the experience simple and easy for both customers and brokers,” 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.”

The lender has been increasing its aggregator footprint since launching onto its first panel in 2025.

Skip joined the Loan Market Group (LMG) panel in August 2025 and was added to the outsource Financial panel earlier this year. The lender has said it has plans to announce three additional aggregator partnerships in the coming months.

NextGen strategic partnerships manager Marcus Walley said the partnership reflected the growing importance of integrated technology platforms within the broker market.

“Skip is a technology-first lender with a clear vision for the broker channel,” Walley said.

“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 partnership comes amid broader momentum for ApplyOnline adoption across the lending sector. In April, low-deposit lender OwnHome also announced it would implement the platform as part of its own broker channel strategy.
