Iowa community bank to leverage the nCino Platform to eliminate fragmented systems, drive efficiency and build for the future
WILMINGTON, N.C., March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- nCino, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCNO), the leading provider of intelligent banking solutions, today announced that Luana Savings Bank, a community bank serving Central and Northeast Iowa since 1908, has chosen nCino as its technology partner to transform how it lends, serves customers more effectively and builds a scalable foundation for future growth.
Luana Savings Bank serves customers across multiple branch locations with a broad portfolio spanning personal, business, commercial and agricultural banking. As the Bank continues to deepen its roots across Iowa communities, Luana's leadership recognized an opportunity to modernize how it lends with nCino Commercial Lending and Agricultural Lending Solutions. By choosing nCino, the Bank aims to eliminate time-consuming manual processes that required staff to re-enter loan data as many as four times per loan, and replace them with a faster, more consistent experience for the consumers and businesses that rely on them.
"The choice to partner with nCino was made easy by the value of their products, knowledge of the financial industry, innovative technology and competitive pricing options," said Jeanessa Meyer, Loan Operations Supervisor at Luana Savings Bank.
With nCino, Luana will bring its commercial and agricultural lending operations onto one intelligent platform, streamlining workflows, increasing transparency across the loan lifecycle and freeing staff to focus on what matters most: building relationships and growing the Bank. Intelligent automation capabilities, including nCino Automated Spreading, will drive consistency across origination, underwriting and loan monitoring, reducing errors and accelerating decision-making at every stage.
"We chose nCino because it was the only platform that truly enables end-to-end transformation and not isolated improvements," said Shane Greenleaf, Chief Executive Officer at Luana Savings Bank. "Instead of simply digitizing existing workflows, we are re-engineering how we originate, underwrite and manage loans — eliminating manual touchpoints, increasing transparency and accelerating decision-making, empowering our teams to focus on strategic client engagement instead of administrative tasks."
"For nCino, partnering with a bank like Luana — one that has spent more than a century earning the trust of Iowa farmers, families and businesses — is exactly what nCino was built for: helping institutions like this one grow, compete and serve for the next hundred years," said Paul Clarkson, Executive Vice President of Global Revenue at nCino.
