TORONTO – January 12, 2022 – nCino, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCNO), a pioneer in cloud banking and digital transformation solutions for the global financial services industry, today announced that CIBC, one of Canada’s Big Six banks, has selected the nCino Bank Operating System® to provide CIBC’s Business Banking team with a modern, scalable and flexible platform to enhance the experience for its Canadian business clients.

Leveraging nCino’s solution, CIBC will be able to improve both the client and employee experience by streamlining complex processes through digitizing and automating the client journey, allowing for a faster, more efficient and more transparent experience for business owners.

Modern, cloud-based digital technology is a must-have for financial institutions seeking to enhance the customer experience, improve operational effectiveness, streamline internal communications, and allow access to data across the enterprise.For years, the only option was to develop such technology in-house. While this approach offers some benefits, such as greater control over implementation and customizations, there are a host of hidden costs.

The good news is that banks and credit unions now have a second option: the ability to buy technology and implement it quickly, cost effectively, and more efficiently than they could on their own. By taking a “buy” approach, FIs can go to market with new technology quickly, typically within 12 months.

While this strategy can save time, money and resources, it isn’t as simple as hitting a “buy now” button. How your FI implements its buy strategy is critical to ensuring you make the most of your investment and achieve your goals within the timeframes and budgets allotted to the project.
