Appli CEO Tim Pranger to Showcase Real-Time Property Value Calculator at GAC 2026

Credit union fintech founder to demonstrate how a standalone lead gen tool turns home equity curiosity into member action

SALT LAKE CITY – February 27, 2026 – Appli, the creator of the industry's first AI-powered smart financial calculator, today announced that Founder and CEO Tim Pranger will be on-site at the 2026 Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington, D.C., March 1-4, demonstrating the company's standalone real-time property value calculator — a lead generation tool designed to help credit unions turn home equity interest into member action.

"Credit unions are sitting on a massive, untapped opportunity with home equity, but too many members never take the first step because they don't know where to start," said Pranger. "This calculator meets them at that moment — gives them a real answer about what their home is worth — and turns that curiosity into a real conversation with their institution."

Unlike traditional calculators embedded inside loan applications, Appli's standalone property value tool is built to function as a top-of-funnel lead generator — capturing qualified member interest before a formal application ever begins. Financial institutions can deploy it directly on their website to drive HELOC, refinance, and home equity loan opportunities.

Pranger will be demonstrating the tool at Appli's exhibit space at kiosk K2 during show floor hours on Monday and Tuesday of GAC.

Since its launch in 2024, Appli has gained traction among community financial institutions including Granite Credit Union and First Source Federal Credit Union, which have implemented the platform to strengthen their digital lending experience while staying true to their member-first mission.

Credit union leaders attending GAC who would like to schedule time with Pranger can reach out to him at tim@hiappli.com, or visit hiappli.com.
