SMBC Trust Bank: A One-Stop Mortgage Experience with nCino’s Mortgage Solution
With SMBC Trust Bank’s growth in its mortgage business for high-net-worth individuals, paper-based operations reached their limits, and the digitization of business operations was necessary. Another major issue was improved convenience for foreign customers, who account for about half of the Bank’s loan amounts.
SMBC Trust Bank focused its search on a solution that could deliver two main features: covering all aspects of mortgage operations in a single system, and enabling online applications.
“nCino’s Mortgage Solution was very attractive in that it could cover the entire loan business with a single product, and we were convinced that this was the system we were looking for. We appreciated the scalability of nCino, which allows us to combine simple solutions to handle a wide variety of banking operations. We also appreciated the fact that the solution was built on the Salesforce platform, which we use as our customer management platform.”
- Satoshi Watanabe, Group Head of Digitalization Promotion Department and Manager of System Management Department
nCino worked to leverage its strengths providing a speedy implementation, responding to requests and modifying standard functionality through maintenance and support.
With nCino’s Mortgage Solution, SMBC Trust Bank sees four major benefits, including:
Eliminated waiting time in the customer portal due to shared information.
Improved operational efficiency. Although the volume of mortgage business has increased by about 30% compared to before the introduction of the system, the fact that it can be handled without increasing the number of employees is a testament to the efficiency of the system.
Contributions to business performance and development of sales channels.
Reduction in the time from application to review and approval by approximately 30%.

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.”
