In 2025, we showed that AI banking solutions, strategic innovation, and global expansion aren't fleeting trends. They're the foundation of what's next in financial services.
We're taking a moment to reflect on a year of transformation, innovation, and growth. From new leadership and product launches to expanding our global footprint and celebrating our incredible community, 2025 was a year that reinforced what we've always known: when financial institutions succeed, we all move forward together.
Here's a look back at what made last year so memorable.
New Leadership, Bold Vision
This year marked a pivotal moment in nCino's journey with Sean Desmond stepping into the role of President and CEO. Sean's deep understanding of both banking and technology has positioned us to lead financial institutions through the next era of innovation. His vision for AI-powered banking solutions and commitment to customer success set the tone for everything we accomplished in 2025.
Product Innovation That Delivers Results
We've always believed that innovation should solve real problems, and this year we delivered on that promise with several major product announcements.
We launched Mortgage Advisor, giving lenders AI-powered insights to streamline their mortgage operations. Operations Analytics Pro helps institutions turn data into actionable intelligence, while Digital Partners expands how financial institutions can collaborate and serve their customers.
We also evolved our platform with strategic rebrands that better reflect our comprehensive solutions. nCino Integration Gateway (formerly Sandbox Banking), nCino Identity Solutions (formerly FullCircl), and nCino KYC Africa (formerly DocFox Africa) now sit under one unified nCino umbrella, making it easier for institutions to access the full power of our ecosystem.
But perhaps our most ambitious launch came at nSight 2025, where we announced the nCino Research Institute. This initiative brings together industry experts, academics, and financial services leaders to explore the future of banking through research, insights, and collaboration. It's our way of investing in the collective intelligence of the industry we serve.
Customer Success: The Numbers Tell the Story
Our customers continue to achieve remarkable results, and their success is what drives us. Here's what some of our customers accomplished with nCino in 2025:
A European financial institution using nCino Commercial Lending saw a 66% improvement in time to decision for commercial loans, while a U.S.-based enterprise bank reduced total testing hours per month by 97.9%.
One community bank experienced an 80% decrease in cycle time for small business loan originations with nCino Small Business Lending. When speed and efficiency matter, these results change everything.
In mortgage lending, an independent mortgage bank cut their time to close from 60 minutes to just 20 minutes with eClose-a 66% reduction that translates to better customer experiences and more closed loans.
With nCino Commercial Lending, one community bank saw a 98% growth in the value of loans booked in a single quarter-efficiency and growth go hand in hand.
Another community bank achieved a 99.5% reduction in time to report on operational performance with the nCino Platform. That's the kind of transformation that empowers better decision-making at every level.
Global Expansion: Banking Without Borders
We now serve more than 2,780 customers across 20+ countries, and in 2025, we expanded into new territories for the first time. Financial institutions in the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, and Spain joined the nCino community, bringing new perspectives and opportunities to our global network.
Every market we enter reminds us that while banking regulations and customer needs may vary, the challenges facing financial institutions are universal. Our platform is built to adapt, scale, and deliver value anywhere in the world.
Recognition That Reflects Our Values
This year brought recognition that validates our commitment to innovation and excellence:
HousingWire Tech100 Mortgage honored our impact on the mortgage industry
The Datos Impact Award recognized our leadership in financial technology
CNBC Top FinTech Company placed us among the industry's most innovative players
nCino VP of Credit Unions, Nicole Haverly, was recognized by the Credit Union Times Luminaries Awards in the Executive Leadership-Technology Vendor category.
Great Place to Work Certified confirmed what we already know-our people make nCino special
These awards aren't just about what we've built. They're about the partnerships we've formed and the results we've delivered together.
Behind every product launch and customer success story are the people of nCino, and in 2025, our team showed up in ways that went far beyond their day jobs.
Through nVolve, our community impact program, nCino employees contributed 2,090+ volunteer hours worldwide and donated over $468,000 to charitable causes that matter to them.
Our Employee Resource Groups continued to grow and create meaningful impact across our global offices:
nPride expanded in the UK with new engagement in Cardiff and Winnersh and hosted Pride Month celebrations in Johannesburg.
The Diaspora brought Black History Month programming to London and sponsored a Career and Resume Summit in Wilmington.
Mi Gente marched in the Cape Fear Latino Festival, hosted beach cleanups at Wrightsville Beach with university students, and celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with several engaging events and presentations.
The AAPI Alliance held Diwali celebrations across London, Melbourne, Sydney, and Auckland. At nCino HQ, AAPI hosted an interactive and educational scavenger hunt, along with a table tennis tournament for AAPI Heritage Month.
VetNet was honored to name Canines for Services' newest service puppy in training, Echo. To raise funds for Canines for Service, the HQ VetNet chapter participated in The Murph Challenge.
Women nTech hosted the third Sip & Shop, an annual fundraising event where employees donate clothing and accessories, then purchase tickets to shop the collection and buy raffle tickets for featured items. This year, proceeds went to The Wilmington Domestic Violence Shelter.
These moments remind us that building great technology and building a great workplace aren't separate goals. They're interconnected, and both require intention, empathy, and action.
Looking Forward
As we move into 2026, we're energized by what's ahead. The financial services industry is evolving rapidly, and the institutions that embrace change-those willing to innovate, adapt, and put their customers first-will define the next era of banking.
To our customers: thank you for trusting us with your transformation journeys. Your success inspires everything we do. To our partners: thank you for collaborating with us to deliver even more value to the institutions we serve. And to our team: thank you for bringing your talent, passion, and humanity to work every day.
Here's to 2026 and everything we'll accomplish together in the year ahead.
