nCino and Salesforce

Customers want more than just financial services from their banks; they seek genuine connection and understanding – a partner in their journey toward financial well-being. And in a world that in many ways has become detached and impersonal, it becomes that much more important for banks to provide experiences that go beyond the transactional nature of banking. However, in the last year alone, organization application usage has increased, surpassing 1,000 applications on average with less than 30% actually integrated. The consequence is an intricate web of data silos, burdened with the weight of rising costs, duplicated efforts, productivity bottlenecks, and fragmented experiences that alienate customers, driving them away.

This begs the question, what can be done to create a seamless and user-friendly digital experience that parallels the warmth of face-to-face interactions?

The ultimate solution lies in the seamless integration of nCino and Salesforce, empowering the agile streamlining of operations and providing the flexibility to pivot swiftly. This powerful synergy helps banks not only meet customer expectations but exceed them, forging lasting relationships that stand the test of time. Let’s take a look at how.

Company Case Study

Let’s take a look at the case of Jared.


Challenges

Jared, a small business owner, had been a loyal customer at his bank for many years. However, his experience with them was not without its fair share of challenges. The loan application process was tedious and time-consuming, causing delays in accessing funds for his business expansion endeavors. He also felt disconnected from the bank, facing communication gaps and unclear updates regarding his loan applications. Other challenges included:

Jared often experienced a lack of timely and transparent communication from his bank. He felt as though he was left in the dark about a number of his concerns, leaving him with an overwhelming sense of being overlooked and undervalued as a member.

Jared’s bank relied on outdated systems and manual processes, leading to frustratingly slow loan processing times and extended waiting periods before Jared heard back from any of his requests.

Limited access to digital banking services not only created a feeling of disconnect for Jared, it was also significantly inconvenient. Jared felt as though his bank was inaccessible and  had no real understanding of his financial needs or aspirations.

Solutions
Motivated by his desire for a better banking experience, Jared opted to transition to a bank harnessing the power of nCino and Salesforce integration. Right from the start, he sensed the bank’s dedication to a seamless customer experience, fostering a genuine interest in his financial goals. Here’s how this integration helped to create a more unified and personalized banking experience for Jared:

Seamless Loan Applications enabled Jared to complete the application online with just a few clicks, eliminating the hassle of visiting the branch repeatedly.

Real-Time Updates kept Jared well-informed throughout the loan approval process. He received information in real-time about the status of his application, ensuring transparency and reducing anxiety about the progress.

Personalized Offerings made possible by Salesforce’s 360-degree view allowed the bank critical insight into Jared’s financial needs to offer tailored loan options. Jared felt valued, knowing that the bank took his unique requirements into account.

Efficient Underwriting powered by nCino resulted in expedited loan approvals. Jared was impressed by how quickly his loan requests were processed, enabling him to seize new business opportunities promptly.

Agile Response to Challenges provided by nCino and Salesforce allowed the bank to offer Jared flexible payment options when Jared faced an unexpected cash flow dip due to a temporary market downturn. Innovate Bank swiftly responded. This not only alleviated Jared’s financial stress during the challenging period, but also reinforced his trust in his banking institution.

Results
Jared’s switch to the bank leveraging nCino and Salesforce proved to be transformative. The seamless processes, transparent communication, and swift responses to challenges helped foster an enduring customer relationship.
