Core Banking

TEMENOS CoreBanking
TEMENOS CoreBanking (TCB) is a contemporary functionally-rich core banking platform, deployed on IBM mainframe technology and designed around IBM's Information Framework (IFW) industry banking model, to maximise re-use, eliminate duplication and minimise redundancy. TCB is used by the world's largest mass market retail banks, who given their scale can achieve significant competitive advantage by having total control of their software assets. It is designed to enable application components to be implemented independently, allowing banks to transition from their evolved, fragmented and highly complex legacy processing environments on a step-by-step incremental basis.
