Northwest Community Bank sought to enhance its mortgage experience and streamline its loan processes. After implementing nCino Mortgage in June 2022, the Bank has achieved an "amazingly" easy mortgage experience, increased customer engagement and faster loan closings with less effort from loan officers.

Headquartered in Winsted, Connecticut, Northwest Community Bank is a state-chartered bank with a rich history going back to 1860. Originally founded as Winsted Savings Bank, the Bank now has 14 branches and $1.1B in assets.

The Challenge

Northwest Community Bank has a long-standing history of excellence in customer service, with a goal to provide a mortgage experience rivaling that of Amazon or Domino’s. However, as the Bank continued to grow, its loan origination system (LOS) and point-of-sale (POS) experience had become more and more disconnected.

“It was frustrating for our customers and for our loan officers. We needed a technology solution that would better support smooth point-of-sale experiences like the loan application process and the loan closing.”

Northwest and nCino Mortgage

While considering mortgage technology providers, a current customer recommended the nCino product, which bolstered the Bank's initial good impression of nCino. In addition, the Bank was able to watch one of its correspondent lenders go through the implementation process. These experiences helped seal the deal, and the Bank chose nCino to help it reach its goals.

In March of 2022, the implementation journey began, and in June of 2022, Northwest went live on the nCino platform. With nCino Mortgage, the Bank is using features such as eClosing to achieve results including:

  • An “amazingly” easy mortgage experience

  • Increased customer engagement

  • Loans close faster and with less effort from loan officers

Northwest Community Bank is using nCino Mortgage to bring a superior product and service to meet the needs of its customers, originators and teams on a daily basis. Learn more about the results Northwest is experiencing by downloading the full case study today.

Journey to a Single Sign-On Home Buying Experience

Genesee Regional Bank was formed in 1996 to serve small business clients in the Rochester, Watertown and Central New York communities. When the community bank launched, it set out to meet the needs of their clients for today and tomorrow. From this original vision, the Bank has grown rapidly to become one of the leading mortgage lenders in the region, with more than$800 million in assets.

As the Genesee Regional Bank grew and mortgage technology became more innovative, it began to evaluate its mortgage needs. GRB was introduced to nCino’s Mortgage Suite and the platform immediately stood out to the Bank.

“We sought out a solution that would help us evolve with the technology that was already beginning to change the shape of our industry,” said Joe Leone, Mortgage Operations Manager at Genesee Regional Bank. “In addition to the user-friendly aspect of nCino’s technology, one of the other reasons we chose the solution is we could see it was starting to think about the next step, such as disclosures and eClosings.”
