Roll. No: 18
Meaning
 Core banking is a general term used to
describe the services provided by a
group of networked bank branches.
Bank customers may access their funds
and other simple transactions from any
of the member branch offices.
 Normal core banking functions will include
deposit accounts, loans, mortgages and
payments. Banks make these services
available across multiple channels like
ATMs, Internet banking, and branches

Levels of computerization vary

significantly in the Indian Banking


Industry. On the one hand centrally
computerized and fully networked new
private banks and foreign banks and on
the other with little computerization in
old private banks and PSBs are in two
ends of the spectrum. This situation will
very soon change and the entire
banking system in the country will be
technology driven. This is evident from
the fact that almost all the banks have
implemented / are implementing the
core banking solution and are also
offering Internet banking services.
Stages of Computerization
Major efforts towards computerization in the

banking industry started almost two decades


ago. The stages of computerization in the
banking industry may be classified as below:

• ALPM branches
• Partially computerized branches
• Fully computerized branches
• Centrally Computerized and Fully Networked
Banks
o Banks offering Internet Banking,

o ATM /banking

o Off-shore data processing


How Does CBS Work?
Core banking solution refers to a common IT

solution wherein a central shared database


support the entire banking application. Business
processes in all the branches of a bank update a
common database in a central server located at
Data centre, which gives a consolidated view of
the bank’s operations. Branches function as
delivery channels providing services to the
customers of the bank. Core Banking Solution is
an integrated application that supports real time,
multibanking and multi-channel strategies. The
single biggest achievement of implementing the
Core Banking Solution is that each customer is
truly the customer of the Bank and not just the
customer of the Branch, where his/her account is
maintained. He/she can go to a branch anywhere
in the country and perform a transaction. This is

customers is made available at the branches. This
enhances customer service at the branch.

operations

Risks of CBS
 All eggs are in a single basket and hence the effect of
centralized failure will be colossal resulting in reputation
risk for the bank.
 The dependence on vendors and service providers increases
 Data Integrity and data security have to be ensured all the
time as the centralized location will be the target of all evil
eyes.
 To be able to provide a reasonable level of comfort in this
aspect, the security program of the banks will have to be
dynamic and alive to the imponderables.
 Acceptance by the staff and changing their mind set to
accept technology and a role shift will be a very big
challenge for managements.


 As the benefits outweigh the risks and as other major private
sector banks started off from this platform coupled with
competitive pressures and heightened customer expectations
are forcing all banks today to adopt CBS technology in a big
