Cloud banking platform for financial institutions built on Salesforce. Wilmington, NC; NYSE: NCNO; ~$450M ARR.
nCino is a cloud banking platform for financial institutions headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina. Founded in 2012 as a spinout from Live Oak Bank, nCino built its platform on the Salesforce platform—an architectural choice that accelerated its development speed and leveraged Salesforce's enterprise CRM capabilities for banker-facing workflows. The company went public on the NYSE in 2020 under the ticker NCNO and has grown to serve over 1,800 financial institution clients globally, including banks, credit unions, and mortgage lenders of all sizes. nCino's platform addresses commercial and retail lending, deposit account opening, mortgage, and financial institution customer relationship management in a unified cloud environment.\n\nThe nCino Bank Operating System is a suite of products that digitize and automate the end-to-end loan origination process—from application intake and credit analysis to underwriting, approval, and document management—replacing manual, paper-intensive workflows that increase cycle time and operational risk. The platform provides configurable credit policy workflows, automated spreading of financial statements, digital document collection, and regulatory reporting tools for compliance with banking regulations including HMDA, BSA, and covenant monitoring. nCino's VisibilityOne product provides real-time commercial portfolio analytics, enabling risk officers to monitor covenant compliance, concentration risk, and loan grade migration across entire portfolios.\n\nNcino competes with Finastra's Fusion Originate, Baker Hill, and Jack Henry's Banno in the cloud banking and loan origination platform market. Its Salesforce-native architecture gives it deep CRM integration capabilities valued by banks that already use Salesforce for customer management, while its public company status and global client base (spanning the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and Japan) provide the enterprise credibility required for bank technology procurement. For financial institutions modernizing manual lending and account opening workflows, nCino offers a proven cloud-native path with a broad ecosystem of integration partners.
