What is Ncontracts?
Ncontracts is a financial risk and compliance management company that combines software, regulatory content, professional expertise, and managed services.
Founded in 2009 by Michael Berman, a former banking attorney, Ncontracts began as a provider of third-party contract management software. It has since expanded into a broader portfolio of integrated and stand-alone risk and compliance solutions.
Ncontracts helps financial organizations create documented, repeatable, and auditable programs for managing regulatory obligations, operational risk, vendor oversight, business continuity, lending compliance, cybersecurity, internal audit, and examination findings.
Several Ncontracts products can operate together as an integrated suite, while other offerings remain distinct platforms or solution groups.

What differentiates Ncontracts
- Built exclusively for financial institutions: Products are designed around the regulatory environment of U.S. banks, credit unions, mortgage companies, fintechs, RIAs, broker-dealers, wealth management firms, insurance companies and other financial organizations. Ncontracts does not serve other industries.
- Attorney-created content: Regulatory knowledge bases, compliance content, and solutions are developed with/by regulatory attorneys, former risk and compliance professionals with financial services experience, and former examiners.
- Knowledge as a Service (KaaS): Expert regulatory knowledge is built directly into the software — risk assessments, guidance, and reports authored by former examiners, regulatory attorneys, and compliance professionals — rather than technology delivered without embedded expertise.
- Integrated suite: The Nsuite (risk, compliance, vendor management, business continuity, audit/findings and cyber risk) are connected. Nlending and Venminder are stand-alone solutions. Quantivate is an integrated, customizable suite for complex organizations.
- 17+ years of proprietary compliance data: De-identified audit findings, management findings, and compliance answers verified by former regulators, attorneys, and practitioners inform AI models.
- Exam-ready orientation: Products are built around what examiners expect to see — aligned to the standards and procedures issued by the FFIEC (applied by the OCC, FDIC, NCUA, Federal Reserve, CFPB), SEC, FINRA, and state regulators.
