CORE EANKING SYSTTENM

BANK
Core banking is a banking service provided by a
group of networked bank branches where
customers may access their bank account and
perform basic transactions from any of the
member branch offices.

Core banking is often associated with retail


banking and many banks treat the retail customers
as their core bankingcustomers. Businesses are
usually managed via the corporate banking
division of the institution. Core banking cove
basic depositing and lending of money.

Core banking functions willinclude transaction


accounts, loans,mortgages and payments. Banks
make these services available across multiple
channels like automated teller machines, Internet
banking, mobile banking and branches.

Banking software and network technology allows a


bank to centralise its record keeping and allow
access from any location.
CORE BANKING SYSTEM Acore banking system is the software used to support a bank's
most common transactions.

Elements of core banking include:


"Making and servicing loans.
" Opening new accounts.
"Processing cash deposits and withdrawals.
" Processing payments and cheques.
" Calculating interest.
"Customer relationship management (CRM) activities.
" Managing customer accounts.
"Establishing criteria for minimum balances, interest rates, number
of withdrawals allowed and so on.

"Establishing interest rates.


"Maintaining records for all the bank's transactions.

Core banking functions differ depending on the


specific type of bank. Retail banking, for
example, is geared towards individual
Customers; wholesale banking is business
conducted between banks; and securities
trading involves the buying and selling of stocks,
shares and so on. Core banking systems are
often specialized for a particular type of banking.
Products that are designed to deal with multiple
types of core banking functions are sometimes
referred to as universal banking systems.
Core banking became possible with the advent
of computer and telecommunication technology
that allowed information to be shared between
bank branches quickly and efficiently. Before the
1970s it used to take at least a day for a
transaction to reflect in the account because
each branch had their local servers, and the
data from the server in each branch was sent in
a batch to the servers in the data center only at
the end of the day (EoD). Over the following 30
years most banks moved to core banking
applications to support their operations where
CORE Banking may stand for "centralized online
real-time exchange". This basically meant that all
the bank's branches could access applications
from centralized data centers. This meant that
the deposits made were reflected immediately
on the bank's servers and the customer could
withdraw the deposited money from any of the
bank's branches.
