Our verdict
The leading cloud lending platform for banks, with agents customers are actually using up. Intelligence Units need forecasting as use grows.
What it is
nCino covers commercial, small business, consumer and mortgage lending, account opening and portfolio management. Banking Advisor is its conversational AI; Digital Partners are role-based agents for executives, analysts, service and processing; the Agentic Operating System lets banks build their own agents.
Usage of Banking Advisor rose more than 25 times between October 2025 and March 2026, and customers are buying more Intelligence Units after using their first bundles.

Community, regional and large banks, and credit unions.

Pricing
nCino is quote-only. Customers move to platform pricing to access AI, which consumes Intelligence Units; more than 40% of nCino's contract value had moved to platform pricing by mid-2026.
Checked November 2026. Vendors change plans often, so confirm current pricing with nCino before you budget.
Security and governance
Bank-grade security, auditability and explainability for AI actions; customer data not used to train models.
