“We are excited to be in business with Pierre Naudé, Josh Glover and the entire nCino team.

We feel nCino’s product suite will significantly contribute to the data and IT transformation we are undergoing here at HCOB,” said Ian Banwell, Chief Financial Officer at Hamburg Commercial Bank.

“nCino is a proven leader in digital banking solutions globally, and we are delighted about collaborating on this strategic initiative.

“We are incredibly pleased to be working with the team at Hamburg Commercial Bank to help accelerate its cloud adoption and digital strategy,” said nCino Chief Executive Officer Pierre Naudé. “As we continue to enhance the breadth and depth of the nCino platform and expand internationally, we greatly value HCOB’s confidence and partnership as our first customer in Germany and look forward to being a part of its digital transformation journey.”

nCino’s Commercial Banking Solution was selected as the leading commercial loan origination system by Aite Group in the global analyst firm’s most recent vendor evaluation, which also named nCino the winner of “The World Traveler Award” for the company’s global expansion and geographically diversified installed base.

“We are incredibly proud to be working with the successful specialty financier Hamburg Commercial Bank,” said Jens Treskatis, Area Vice President at nCino Germany. “By offering an agile and flexible cloud-based platform that meets the demands of a highly regulated market, nCino is well positioned to support financial institutions in Germany.
