Built by warehouse lenders
About Our Team
Forta Agility™ is built by a team that’s spent decades inside the mortgage capital markets — as lenders, operators, and compliance experts, not just software engineers.
Built by warehouse lenders, for warehouse lenders.
Forta Solutions was founded by warehouse lending professionals who recognized that legacy technology was limiting efficiency, scalability, and innovation across the industry.
Before writing a single line of code, the Forta team collaborated with four warehouse lenders to design a platform based on what lenders wanted in a modern warehouse lending solution, ensuring Forta Agility was built around real-world operational needs rather than outdated technology. Today, Forta continues to help financial institutions modernize warehouse lending with Forta Agility, a cloud-native platform that automates workflows, streamlines operations, and delivers technology built by industry experts for the industry’s evolving needs.
