5 Core banking platforms disrupting the banking ecosystem in India

By Gloria Mathias

Core banking refers to the central or core system that processes and manages a bank’s most fundamental and essential functions, such as deposit processing, lending operations, credit processing, account management, transaction processing, etc. It serves as the backbone of a bank’s operations, ensuring the seamless execution of key financial transactions.

In India, core banking platforms have played a pivotal role in revolutionising the banking landscape. These platforms leverage the latest technologies, employing cloud-based systems and open API architectures. This modernization facilitates seamless integration with diverse internal and external services, enhancing the overall operational efficiency of banks.
