nCino announced TPO Experience on September 3, 2026, a new capability that consolidates retail and third-party origination onto a single mortgage POS platform integrated with ICE Mortgage Technology's Encompass LOS [1]. The launch targets a structural inefficiency in a channel that accounts for more than one in five U.S. mortgages, representing an estimated $440 billion annually [1]. The move aligns with enterprise software buyers' top integration priority: 55.2% of decision makers cite improved integration capabilities as a top budget confidence driver [2].

The News: nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO) announced TPO Experience on September 3, 2026, expanding its Mortgage Point of Sale to support third-party origination [1]. The capability enables lenders using ICE Mortgage Technology's Encompass LOS to originate retail and brokered loans on a single platform [1]. Wholesale originations accounted for more than one in five U.S. mortgages in Q1 2026, representing an estimated $440 billion annually [1]. Brokered loans submitted through TPO Experience are synced to Encompass with appropriate channel designation and lender business rules applied [1]. Casey Williams, General Manager of Global Mortgage at nCino, stated that growth in the wholesale channel is putting more pressure on lenders to eliminate the operational divide between retail and wholesale businesses. TPO Experience will be available to Encompass customers in late 2026, with plans to expand support to additional LOS providers [1].
nCino Unifies Retail and Wholesale Mortgage on One Platform
Analyst Take: TPO Experience addresses a real and costly structural problem: lenders running retail and wholesale operations through separate systems face duplicate compliance workflows, fragmented reporting, and inconsistent borrower experiences. By consolidating both channels into a single POS workflow synced to Encompass [1], nCino removes the operational seams that create risk and overhead in regulated lending environments. This is a targeted, integration-first product move that speaks directly to what enterprise buyers say they need most [2].
A $440B Channel Running on Fragmented Infrastructure
The wholesale mortgage channel is not a niche segment. Wholesale originations accounted for more than one in five U.S. mortgages in Q1 2026, representing an estimated $440 billion annually [1]. Yet most lenders manage brokered loans through systems entirely separate from their retail origination stack. The result is duplicated compliance workflows, inconsistent borrower-facing experiences, and reporting that cannot easily reconcile across channels. TPO Experience closes that gap by allowing third-party originators to submit loans through the same infrastructure retail loan officers use, with brokered loans synced to Encompass with the appropriate channel designation and lender business rules applied [1]. Borrowers also receive a consistent experience for document upload and loan status tracking regardless of origination channel. For lenders with meaningful wholesale volume, the operational consolidation case is straightforward.
Integration as a Strategic Differentiator
nCino's product decision reflects a well-documented enterprise buyer priority. The Futurum Group Enterprise Software Decision Maker Survey found that improved integration capabilities ranked as a top budget confidence driver for 55.2% of respondents (n=830) [2]. A prior survey period reinforced the same signal, with improved integration capabilities cited by 72.4% of decision makers (n=865) [3]. TPO Experience is precisely this kind of integration play: it does not require lenders to replace Encompass or restructure their LOS investment. Instead, it layers a unified POS workflow on top of existing infrastructure, reducing friction without forcing a rip-and-replace decision. That approach lowers adoption barriers and shortens the sales cycle for a platform serving over 2,700 customers worldwide [1].
Agentic AI Positioning and Market Timing
nCino describes itself as the platform for agentic AI banking, and the timing of TPO Experience is deliberate. Among enterprise software decision makers, autonomous agents and agentic AI ranked as a priority for 86.6% of respondents (n=830) [2]. A unified origination platform creates the clean, structured data environment that agentic workflows require: consistent loan records, unified business rules, and a single compliance trail across channels. The macro backdrop supports continued investment. The enterprise software market is forecast to reach approximately $424 billion in 2026 on a 12.2% CAGR base case through 2031 [4]. Regulated verticals like mortgage banking, where compliance complexity amplifies the cost of fragmentation, represent durable demand for platforms that can unify workflows without sacrificing auditability.
Availability and Expansion Path
TPO Experience will be made available to nCino Mortgage customers using Encompass in late 2026 [1]. The phased rollout is consistent with nCino's integration-first approach: anchor on the dominant LOS, prove the workflow, then expand. Plans to support additional LOS providers [1] suggest nCino intends to extend the TPO capability beyond the Encompass ecosystem, which would broaden the addressable market considerably. For independent mortgage banks and credit unions already on the nCino platform [1], the incremental cost of adding wholesale origination through a familiar interface is low. The more significant question is whether lenders currently running separate wholesale systems will consolidate onto nCino or treat TPO Experience as a reason to evaluate the platform for the first time.
