Kiraboshi Bank, a regional bank based in Tokyo, implemented nCino’s Commercial Banking Solution to enhance its business financing, part of its journey to create a single, cloud-based platform to better serve its business clients. The implementation was led by IBM Japan.

Kiraboshi Bank needed a solution that would automate processes, remove manual barriers and improve internal operations. Kiraboshi Bank’s employees arrange many complex deals involving multiple banks and required a single, cloud-based platform to respond to their clients’ diverse challenges. The nCino platform will provide Kiraboshi with key insights to deliver a faster response and streamlined experience for their banker, enabling them to better serve their customers.

As part of its medium-term management plan running from April 2021 to March 2023, the bank has set six major pillars for its business:

  • Life plan support business
  • Digital bank business
  • Startup support business
  • Business succession support
  • Support business for medical institutions
  • Corporate revitalization business

As a platform to support Business Financing, the bank has decided to introduce nCino’s “Bank Operating System®” to improve operational efficiency, strengthen cooperation between branches and headquarters, and enhance their risk management system by establishing a monitoring system during the medium-term plan period.
