Adjusted EBITDA loss registered at $24 million, showing progress from the $28 million loss reported during the fourth quarter of 2024.
AI-Powered Tinman Platform Powers Growth Trajectory
The star performer was undoubtedly the Tinman AI Platform. This technology generated $646 million in funded loan volume throughout Q4, climbing 34% from the third quarter of 2025 and exceeding management’s previous $600 million guidance. The platform now accounts for over 40% of the company’s total funded loan volume.
Better’s strategic alliance with Intuit Credit Karma—among America’s largest consumer finance platforms boasting over 140 million members—officially went live in Q4. Within just five months of operation, Credit Karma Home Loans powered by Better has produced more than 30,000 mortgage pre-approvals. Notably, this achievement represents penetration of less than 1% of Credit Karma’s qualified member base.
Pre-approval activity through the Credit Karma collaboration demonstrated exponential growth: starting at 850 in October, climbing to 2,600 in November, jumping to 5,000 in December, then accelerating to 11,000 in January and reaching 13,000 in February 2026.
The company also rolled out a fresh integration with ChatGPT during Q1 2026, enabling lenders and fintech collaborators to access Better’s Tinman AI mortgage underwriting capabilities using conversational language commands.
