Community banks are gaining a new tool option that hopes to better track their loan portfolios.
Today marks the debut of nCino, a company that is launching a cloud-based system targeted toward community banks. The thrust of the new offering, called Bank Operating System, allows FIs to peek inside their existing loan-production pipelines and portfolios through a dashboard, doc manager and reporting.
“This is transformative to a bank,” Chief Executive Pierre Naude tells Bank Innovation. “It’s adopting a new culture and way to approach a bank.”
The technology, which is a subscription service, taps into Salesforce.com’s development platform, Force.com.
“We are very close with the Salesforce team selling into the community bank team,” he says. “They will actively promote the solution.”
Naude emphasized his technology isn’t meant to compete with a bank’s core banking vendor.
“My view is that we co-exist with the cores,” he says, adding he has no plans to have “preferred” core vendors either.
Already, six banks have launched the technology, including Wilmington, N.C.-based Live Oak Bank, whose CEO helped to bring the technology to market.
