NORD/LB Deepens Partnership with Finastra, Adds New Solutions to Grow its Lending Business

The bank’s selection of Loan IQ Nexus and Loan Portal will make its corporate and syndicated lending processes faster and simpler while enhancing the customer experience

Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale (NORD/LB) is strengthening its digital lending infrastructure, expanding its long-standing partnership with Finastra to future-proof integrations across its ecosystem. Combined with its established use of Loan IQ, NORD/LB will add Finastra’s Nexus integration layer and the Loan Portal to its tech stack, marking a further step towards smoother, faster, and more user-friendly corporate and syndicated lending services. The move will reduce costs, simplify upgrades, and enhance the overall customer experience.

Loan IQ Nexus works behind the scenes as a digital bridge, linking together NORD/LB’s different systems. Instead of staff needing to manually re-enter information into multiple places, Nexus carries data automatically where it needs to go. This cuts down on paperwork for employees and keeps processes running quickly and accurately.

Loan Portal will act like a personal, secure online hub. Corporate clients can apply for loans, upload documents, and track progress in one place. By reducing the need to chase updates by phone or through physical paperwork, the process is simpler and managed digitally.
