0. Introduction
Banking industry in Bangladesh is the core driver in economic development of the country. The focus for inclusion and aim for sustainability have advanced the industry to grow with a faster pace and in a wellstructured manner. The industry has undergone with many changes on providing the services to their customers. Most of the banks have adopted automated banking environment for faster services, better control in operations and established alternate delivery channels to facilitate services at door-steps. Core Banking Solution (CBS) is playing a vital role for this technology driven banking services. Today the role of CBS is not just as a transaction processing engine, it is the key repository of information to further analyze and detect risks. A standard and flexible CBS is a significant contributor to a bank's ability to respond quickly to the diversified business including compliances with changing regulations. Apart from the CBS, Banks are using different important solutions for different business portfolios like Trade Finance, Remittance, Asset Liability Management, Anti-Money Laundering, Card Management, etc. Though these business operations may be done using separate solutions, the reporting to stakeholders and regulators is done in a consolidated manner. Most of the commercial banks have already implemented CBS and the rests are on the way of implementation. Different commercial banks of Bangladesh are using different outsourced or self-developed CBS. For the variations in development architecture, support service, modality and flexibility in these systems, stakeholders are facing challenges to collect necessary and intended information at right time. This necessitates a uniform set of instructions that should be accommodated as minimum requirement in any CBS. This document is developed in a collaborative approach to guide the commercial banks in Bangladesh for maintaining minimum required features and controls in their CBS and other related banking solutions so that the banks can comply with most of the stakeholders’ requirements. The document covers necessary features and controls of banking services like General Banking, Bills and Remittance, Deposits, Loans/Credit/Investment, Trade Service, Treasury, System Administration and Reporting. Each bank has its own way of management reporting and regulators also have their different query and reporting requirements which are changing over time, as such fixed reporting formats and demands could not be stated in the Reporting module. It is expected that the reporting tools used in the banking system shall be capable and flexible enough to generate new format of reports as required. Bangladesh Bank reserves the right to amend/review this document as and when necessary.
