The financial services landscape is rapidly evolving, challenging institutions to keep pace with emerging risks, shifting client expectations, and growing data volumes.
In today's increasingly complex economic landscape, financial institutions face mounting pressure to adapt to policy changes that significantly impact their lending portfolios. The current administration's implementation of tariffs presents both immediate challenges and long-term considerations for lenders across the United States. With rising economic policy uncertainty weighing on business fixed investments, financial institutions must prepare for potential credit deterioration and adjust their risk management strategies accordingly.

In a world where the financial industry continues to evolve rapidly, financial institutions need to do the same. One way to maintain your edge is by embracing a balance of automation and augmentation. This approach enhances operational efficiency, optimizes risk management, and revolutionizes the experience for both banker and client.
In today’s financial landscape, digital transformation has become an essential priority for financial institutions (FIs), and credit risk management is no exception. Despite economic challenges, many banks are making significant investments in advanced technologies to fast-track their digital transformation. While cost pressures are considerable, the potential of technology to enhance automation and efficiency continues to drive these investments forward.

With over 8,000 new homes financed and 5,000 customers securing better home loan deals in FY 24, the bank is deeply committed to enhancing customer experience and outcomes.
In the rapidly evolving lending landscape, caused in part by the bank failures of 2023, credit portfolios are facing significant stress and heightened challenges, including rising default rates, fluctuating interest rates, and economic uncertainty. Coupled with strict regulatory demands for risk differentiation and portfolio diversification, these pressures are exposing the limitations of current credit portfolio monitoring processes, which are often static, reactive and subjective. As a result, financial institution (FI) leaders are rethinking their credit portfolio management practices.

As your financial institution considers the tools, technologies and partnerships that will help you scale in the years to come, there are a number of factors to consider when evaluating a potential vendor.AgilityAs our digital and economic landscape continues to shift, financial institutions must be prepared to evolve alongside a society that expects instant results and the frictionless ease of automation.

Community bank simplifies and streamlines account opening for business clients.
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.

Digital account opening is a top priority at many financial institutions, for good reasons. With loan-to-deposit ratios above or approaching 100%, banks and credit unions can’t afford to lose out on potential deposits due to ineffective or inefficient account opening processes. A “friction-free” process is essential to the digital account opening experience but achieving this goal may be harder than it looks for institutions jumping into the DAO waters.“Not long ago, most financial institutions basically had the same digital account acquisition capabilities. Not anymore. Leading institutions are pulling away. Banks and credit unions that don’t provide end-to-end digital account opening must upgrade quickly.”
