nCino To Acquire SimpleNexus

With the acquisition, nCino and SimpleNexus will work together to continue innovating for the IMB community while accelerating the adoption of the SimpleNexus homeownership platform by U.S. banks and credit unions, where nCino currently has over 1,100 customers, according to a press release.

The two companies will also work together to leverage SimpleNexus’ consumer front-end technology and domain expertise to accelerate the development of nCino’s mobile and point-of-sale offerings across additional lines of business. 

“Their innovative solution and deep subject matter expertise in consumer front-end technology will extend our capabilities to the U.S. point-of-sale mortgage space and enhance nCino’s mobile and point-of-sale offerings, unlocking additional opportunities and value for our customers and their clients,” said Pierre Naudé, CEO of nCino.

SimpleNexus serves more than 300 independent mortgage banks (IMBs), over 80 banks and credit unions, and more than 41,000 loan originators nationwide, according to the company. The company also revealed that during the first nine months of 2021, more than one in every seven mortgage originations in the U.S. leveraged SimpleNexus’ software.

Providing a natural expansion of nCino’s capabilities to the U.S. point-of-sale mortgage market, the acquisition of SimpleNexus initially expands nCino’s serviceable addressable market by over $4 billion. Similar to nCino, SimpleNexus operates a per-seat subscription-based revenue model, enabling the company to generate financial results that are more predictable, recurring, and not based on mortgage transaction volumes.
