LONDON, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- FullCircl, the Customer Lifecycle Intelligence (CLI) platform that helps financial institutions (FIs) do better business faster, has announced a partnership with nCino, a pioneer in cloud banking.  The partnership brings together FullCircl's advanced data capabilities with nCino's best-in class cloud banking platform via API to provide a fast, seamless, and data-driven experience for FIs seeking to improve the speed, efficiency, and profitability with which they acquire, onboard, and serve SME customers.

The partnership between FullCircl and nCino presents FIs with a proposition that can help:

• Optimise time to funding - cut onboarding times from weeks to minutes
• Reduce risk - spot issues and act on opportunities faster
• Minimise cost - remove friction and enhance the operational efficiency of credit practices 
• Accelerate revenue growth – serve SMEs successfully and cost-effectively at scale
• Win and retain more SME customers - deliver more commercially-beneficial outcomes
