About the Core Banking training 

The Core Banking System (CBS) is the invisible but essential heart of any financial institution. It’s the master ledger that supports every banking product - and nearly every banking process. 

Yet many CBS systems are aging, fragmented, and risky to update. As financial services evolve rapidly - from crypto to real-time payments - banks must find ways to modernize these systems without disruption. 

For anyone looking to partner with a bank on their CBS or related tech priorities, you'll want to know the basics. This Primer will cover what CBSs do, how they work, and who’s involved.
