Cloud banking leader nCino announced today the acquisition of DocFox, a specialist in automated onboarding solutions for commercial and business banking. The acquisition, valued at $75 million, underscores nCino's commitment to revolutionizing the financial services industry through technological innovation.
DocFox's user-friendly technology streamlines the often-complex process of onboarding business banking clients. By integrating DocFox's solution with its existing platform, nCino empowers financial institutions to manage a client's entire journey – from initial information gathering to document collection and due diligence – seamlessly on a single platform. This eliminates the need for cumbersome, siloed systems, regardless of the client's size or complexity. DocFox's track record of reducing onboarding times from weeks to mere hours speaks volumes about the impact this acquisition will have on efficiency within the banking sector.
Pierre Naudé, CEO and Chairman of the Board at nCino, expressed his enthusiasm about the strategic move. "Since its inception, nCino has been driven by the desire to leverage automation and digitization to streamline complex processes," Naudé remarked. "The acquisition of DocFox bolsters our existing functionalities and ushers in a new era for commercial banking, a sector long burdened by intricate onboarding procedures. We are thrilled to solidify our vision of a single platform solution and extend this innovative offering to financial institutions seeking to optimize their onboarding and account opening processes."
Echoing Naudé's sentiments, Ryan Canin, DocFox Co-Founder & CEO, sees the merger as a catalyst for positive change. "This is a momentous occasion for DocFox," Canin said. "We are honored to join forces with nCino, a company that mirrors our vision, culture, and unwavering commitment to both our customers and employees. Together, we are determined to develop solutions that address the industry's most pressing challenges. Our best-in-class account opening solution will integrate flawlessly with nCino's platform, creating unparalleled value for financial institutions striving to automate and digitize the experiences they deliver to their clients and staff."
The strategic significance of the acquisition resonated with James Beckwith, President & CEO of Five Star Bank, a customer of both nCino and DocFox. "In the realm of commercial and business banking, adopting a single, integrated platform transcends a mere technological upgrade; it's a strategic imperative," Beckwith explained. "We are incredibly enthusiastic about implementing and integrating the technologies of nCino and DocFox. This will empower us to provide our clients with a demonstrably faster, simpler, and more efficient experience. Furthermore, the combined expertise, resources, and synergies created by nCino's acquisition of DocFox are exciting developments for the business customer onboarding and banking solution space. Merging these two key providers within our technology infrastructure will undoubtedly grant us a significant edge in the competitive marketplace.
