DNB, the Oslo-headquartered bank serving more than 2 million retail customers and over 200,000 corporate clients, has gone live on the nCino Platform to power its corporate lending operations, with an expansion into SME lending planned for next year.
The Norwegian lender has deployed nCino for Commercial Lending together with Banking Advisor, the company’s AI-driven conversational tool that places intelligence inside the day-to-day workflows of bankers. The rollout, delivered to nCino’s gold standard with support from Deloitte, will now be extended across the bank’s branches in nine countries.
The decision follows DNB’s assessment that its core credit systems needed a refresh to underpin sustained growth and long term commercial value as part of its wider modernisation drive.
nCino describes itself as the platform for agentic AI banking, and is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker NCNO.
DNB holds a distinctive position in global finance as the leading bank for the shipping and seafood industries, alongside a significant presence in energy. From its global branch network, the institution provides a full spectrum of financial products and services.
DNB EVP of lending Cecilie Kirsebom Foyn-Bruun said, “For 200 years, DNB has supported its customers through changes big and small. As we went through our own digital transformation, it made sense to go with a company who could support us through a big change.”
She added, “With nCino, we get a future proof foundation to work more efficiently and smarter to create value for our Corporate customers across industries and markets. The goal is that our bankers have what they need to do their best work: a single platform, connected data and the intelligence to move faster for our clients.”
nCino managing director of EMEA Joaquín de Valenzuela said, “DNB is one of Europe’s most respected financial institutions, and we’re proud to be the platform they’ve chosen to power its next chapter. This partnership speaks to the trust financial institutions across EMEA are placing in nCino, and we’re committed to growing alongside them. With the nCino Platform and its agentic capabilities, DNB will have the intelligence to make faster, data-informed decisions with AI that doesn’t just inform action but helps drive it.”
