CORE Banking:
“a back-end system that processes daily banking transactions, and
posts updates to accounts and other financial records” Gartner
C.O.R.E Centralized Online Real-time Environment
4. DESIGN EVOLUTION OFTHE CBS
Decentralized
Branches
Centralized
Branch Network
SOA Based
CORE Banking
5. DECENTRALIZED BRANCHES
Each branch has it’s own server
Transactions take at least one day to reflect in account
Data sent to Head Office at EoD
I.T. Operations Nightmare for EoD staff
Customer transaction oriented design
6. CENTRALIZED BRANCH NETWORK
One datacentre and many “dumb-clients” at branches
Branches access application via radio
All transactions are real-time
Less hustle at EoD
Mostly concentrated on core banking functions like
Deposit Accounts
Loans
Mortgages
Payments
Easier multi-channel integration
Customer transaction oriented design
7. SOA BASED CORE BANKING
New architecture to promote service modularity
Easier to integrate existing banking application
Give more flexibility to banks to use the best tool for each function
Meets most current demands of banks of today
Deploying services at the speed of thought
SLA monitoring on services
Creating impossible services
Customer services oriented design
10. EVOLUTION OF CUSTOMER DATA
Central Bank’s
KYC
Requirements
Service
requirements
What ‘s next?
11. WHAT’S NEXT?
Understanding what’s next for the customer
What additional data is required?
Relationships Family, friends, co-workers, etc.
Interests Music artiste, car brands, home décor, photography, etc.
Events wedding, birthday, graduation, etc.
Location What kind of places do s/he visit and how often?
Aspirations Dream car, dream house, dream job, etc.
CUSTOMER’S LIFE STORY
13. WHY IS STORAGE AN ISSUE
The data being stored has three distinct attributes
Volume
Velocity
Variety
Traditional Relational Databases reach their breaking point on commodity servers
very fast
Buying specialized hardware is not feasible for most businesses
A solution that is widely accessible must use commodity servers to do what is
reserved for mainframes and supercomputers
For Africa, an extra requirement is that the software must be reasonably priced
} BIG DATA
17. OPEN SOURCE
Better control over price
Removes vendor lock-in
Reduces barrier to entry
Reputation of creators
Wider community of users (Best alternative in the absence of standardization)
Apache Licenses are Enterprise Friendly
19. REALTIME ANALYTICS
Map customer’s upcoming events to financial products
Map customer’s friend’s upcoming events to fianacial products
Map upcoming social/professional events to customer preferences (may add
financial products)
Map customer shopping wishlist to financial product
Map spending pattern to social data
20. LEARNINGTO BE BETTER
Learn about the classifications that worked and those that didn’t
Learn about patterns that may not be evident with clustering
Use clustered to data to form new classifications
Basic question being answered is:
Given the demographic, professional, social and
transaction data of a customer what service would be the
best next sell?
22. SOURCES OF LIFE STORIES
Social Media Networks – Relationships, interests, events, check-ins, etc
eCommerce websites – Shopping history and whislists
Telcos – Mobile money and locations data
Device Manufacturers – All mobile data
BEST Strategic Partnership Device Manufacturers
23. POSSIBLE ISSUES
Although regulations allow such data to be used with customer consent abuse
may lead to tighter laws
Customers may not trust bank with such data
25. The next frontier of banking is to use
big data technologies to rightly
predict customer needs.The
competition will be who has the
clearest crystal ball.
