Pineapple Financial Inc., a Canadian company, has rebranded as Pentiv and launched an intelligence platform targeting U.S. mortgage brokerages. This strategic shift aims to move towards an asset-light, platform-driven operating model focused on commercializing its technology. The new platform is designed to integrate with existing origination systems, unifying data and workflows for independent brokerages. Pentiv plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PTIV on October 12. The company believes this approach addresses a gap in the mortgage technology market, which has largely focused on automating loan processing rather than the brokerage layer. Pentiv's strategy involves offering intelligence tools to help brokerages scale production and retention without requiring them to replace their core infrastructure. Usman Maher has been appointed as CFO and CSO, bringing experience from fintech and private equity.
