Banking Systems Software

Banking Software are a type of enterprise system that enable banks and financial institutions to automate transaction management processes and fulfill the banking requirements of their clients. Also known as core banking systems, these tools can help supply the infrastructure for banks to build and deploy financial products tailored to their needs, store account holders’ data in compliance with regulations, handle financial transactions, manage loan defaults, and provide anti-fraud measures. Banking systems are used in retail and corporate banking, personal and internet banking, offshore banking, and micro-finance banking. They can be used by retail banks to connect to interbank networks and other modular tools, by investment banks accessing capital markets, and by wealth management firms or mutual fund administrators who provide front-office services. The range of applications include corporate treasury, personal banking, commercial lending, and trade finance, where it is essential to compute loans, interest rates, or other due payments and retrieve processing data promptly. Banking software also help forecast loan repayments, manage withdrawals, facilitate deposits, track customer accounts, and carry out credit approval tasks. Banking software applications can help secure electronic transactions and automate commercial lending or trade finance operations, including import, purchase, and stock finance. Typical features of banking system software include transaction monitoring, compliance management, and document management tools. They often also feature activity dashboards accessible to authorised members of staff, as well as reporting and statistical analysis tools. Banking Software can incorporate many of the features of Loan Servicing Software and Financial Risk Management Software, often complemented by capabilities typically found in Fraud Management Software. As they facilitate transactions through various channels, they could also be considered similar to Payment Processing Software and Online Banking Software.
