Overview
Baker Hill has been in the lending technology business since 1983, and its NextGen platform represents the company's modern, cloud-native rewrite of their legacy systems. The platform integrates commercial, small business, consumer, and SBA loan origination into a single SaaS environment with built-in risk management and portfolio analytics. Baker Hill's particular strength is the breadth of its origination coverage — it's one of the few platforms that handles commercial, consumer, and SBA workflows in a single system without the Salesforce dependency that nCino carries. For community banks that want a unified lending platform but aren't committed to the Salesforce ecosystem, Baker Hill NextGen is often the first name in the conversation.
