WILMINGTON, N.C., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- nCino, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCNO), the platform for agentic AI banking, today announced that San Diego-based Cornerstone First Mortgage (Cornerstone) has switched to nCino's Mortgage Point of Sale to enhance the borrower experience and support its continued nationwide expansion.
Cornerstone has doubled in size twice over the past three years and now operates in 49 states through a network of approximately 130 branches supporting dozens of local brands under the Cornerstone umbrella. The company sought a scalable mortgage point-of-sale platform capable of supporting its unique branch-based model while delivering a consistent borrower experience nationwide. The lender selected nCino's Mortgage Point of Sale for its flexibility, mobile capabilities and nCino's commitment to customer partnership.
"Your point-of-sale platform is the first representation of your company after that initial conversation with a borrower," said Eric Rotner, President of Operations at Cornerstone. "As we evaluated the next phase of growth for our business, we wanted a solution that could support our branch network, preserve the local brands our loan officers have built and provide a better experience for our borrowers. nCino's Mortgage Point of Sale stood out because of its flexibility, mobile capabilities and the team's commitment to helping us succeed."
"Cornerstone has built an impressive growth story by empowering entrepreneurial branch leaders while maintaining a strong commitment to the borrower experience," said Casey Williams, General Manager at nCino. "We're proud to support their continued expansion and look forward to helping the organization drive even greater efficiency, consistency and customer satisfaction through nCino's Mortgage Point of Sale."
Since switching to nCino, Cornerstone has significantly expanded its use of the platform to reduce borrower friction and simplify the loan process. Cornerstone is using nCino-connected verification tools to increase adoption of digital income, employment and asset verification and is also accelerating its adoption of eNotes and remote online notarization (RON). Together, these capabilities support Cornerstone's broader goal of helping loan officers move borrowers through the mortgage process with greater speed, consistency and ease.
