Conventus Partners with Lightning Docs for Custom API Integration
Partnership accelerates loan closings and supports continued national expansion
San Francisco, CA March 25, 2026: Conventus, one of the nation’s leading private lenders and the second largest private lender in California in 2025, has partnered with Lightning Docs to develop a custom end-to-end API integration that accelerates loan closings and supports the company’s continued national expansion.
Lightning Docs serves as the official loan documents of the American Association of Private Lenders®. Through this custom API integration, loan data flows directly from Conventus’ proprietary loan origination system into Lightning Docs, enabling instant creation of attorney-grade, fully compliant loan document packages without duplicate data entry. The result is a streamlined closing process built to handle institutional-level volume with greater speed and precision.
Conventus first implemented Lightning Docs in 2020. Since then, the company has grown its annual loan transaction volume by more than 340 percent, expanded its product offering, and scaled operations across multiple markets. As origination volume and product complexity increased, deeper system integration became a priority.
Keith Tomao, CEO of Conventus Lending, shared, “We are excited to deepen our partnership with Lightning Docs. This integration reflects our continued investment in technology that enables us to move faster and provide a more seamless experience for our clients.”
“It’s been a privilege to watch Conventus grow over the last six years. It’s a testament to their leadership team and their ability to execute and solve tough challenges,” said Nema Daghbandan, CEO of Lightning Docs. “With the growth and success they’ve experienced comes the responsibility to scale operations intelligently. This custom API integration eliminates administrative friction, empowers their closing team, and helps their borrowers close faster with greater certainty.”
Since joining the platform, Conventus has generated over 6,000 loan document packages through Lightning Docs, representing more than $4.9 billion in loan originations. This growth has contributed to the over $84 billion in lifetime loan originations processed through Lightning Docs nationwide.
