Data and analytics have been buzzwords for years in the financial services industry, but only recently have banks started using data analytics to meaningfully drive revenue and improve the customer experience. Today, banks on the leading edge are using advanced analytics to inform and prioritize among marketing campaigns, and then automate those campaigns so that dozens, if not hundreds, can be run simultaneously by financial institutions of any size.

Growing revenue in a responsible way has always been a challenge for banks, but it’s not the growing part that’s hard. A bank can grow revenue by simply easing underwriting standards and boosting loan volumes. But this increases credit risk, leading to higher charge-offs in the future. Thus, this is not an ideal growth strategy for long-term success. The challenge is to grow revenue responsibly, ideally in a way that doesn’t require regular infusions of capital.

Commercial loan pricing at financial institutions is traditionally a manual, complex exercise. Often, pricing and profitability calculations are trapped deep within Excel workbooks or other disconnected back-office systems, and using and maintaining these systems can be tedious, error prone and time consuming. While point solutions for strategic pricing can remove the complexity of an Excel based system, they don’t adequately integrate into the loan origination system. These disparate systems can impact all areas of the organization, from the relationship manager up to the executive level.

That’s why we’re excited to share nCino’s Commercial Pricing & Profitability solution. This solution enables customers to price commercial loans on-platform, within the nCino commercial LOS, and to optimize loan pricing based on the unique policies and financial targets of each bank to maximize profitability.
