nCino Before The IPO
nCino was founded by a team of bankers who believed that the commercial lending process was inefficient and time-consuming. The founders, Pierre Naude, Pullen Daniel, Nathan Snell, James “Chip” S. Mahan, and Neil Underwood, started the company in 2012. Since its inception, nCino has expanded beyond commercial banking under its CEO, Pierre Naude. The company now caters to small businesses and retail banking services.
In less than a decade, the company, which started in Wilmington, North Carolina, has evolved into a leading company banking software provider. As of 2019, nCino was providing services to over 1,100 financial institutions. nCino currently serves the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan.
Considering the effect of the persisting coronavirus pandemic, nCino has adjusted its Small Business Administration loan solution to fit the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The decision will help the PPP, which already gives financial help to small businesses affected by the pandemic. nCino has received thousands of loan applications and has made over $50 billion available via its software.
