Join us at the American Banker Small Business Banking conference and don’t miss our case study session with Baker Hill Chairman and CEO Andy Ivankovich and NBT Bank’s Brent Miller on how lenders are approving more loans, faster, without giving up credit quality.
Come say hello at Booth 14!
Tuesday, October 27, 2026, 12:10 – 12:40 PM
Banks are being asked to approve more loans, in less time, with the same teams and the same risk standards. Andy and Brent will walk through what's working in the lending process at NBT Bank. They will cover where the delays are, where AI and automation shorten the path to yes, and how to apply them while keeping underwriting discipline and regulatory expectations intact.
You'll hear real examples of how NBT has increased collaboration, cut cycle times, reduced manual rework, and grew volume. You will leave with a short list of changes you can start on Monday to enable you to lend better, lend faster and lend more.
