Core Banking System

The complete solution for banks from a single source

Our Core Banking System supports the entire business model of a bank

The complete solution for banks from a single source

While financial institutions have to react to market changes more dynamically and in ever shorter cycles, the demands on core banking systems are also increasing. Many banks are using IT systems that have already reached their capacity limits in the wake of this development.

Flexibility

With our core banking system, your financial institution has a powerful portfolio of features that can be adapted easily and flexibly to new business models and thus can replace outdated, rigid structures. The PASS SolutinWorld Banking maps the complete business and process model of financial service providers, e.g. private banks, foreign banks, retail banks and fund custodians, and also meets the individual needs of their customers. Both active and passive banking transactions can be handled and processed using the system.

Banking from a single source

The modularity of our banking solution facilitates the fast, easy enhancement of the functional range if required, thus considerably reducing the time to market of new banking products. The integrated rules engine ensures a high degree of automation and helps to keep the manual work of your employees to a minimum while maintaining quality. Of course, our core banking system also covers all of the regulatory and technical requirements of a financial institution.
