Core Platform Resources

ABA, with the work of its Core Platforms Committee, created this list of resources to assist banks of all sizes navigate their core relationships.

Principles for Strong Bank Core Provider Relationships 

Developed by the Core Committee, these Principles for Strong Bank-Core Provider Relationships offer reasonable standards under which a bank’s relationship with its core provider, and its customer base, can thrive. Fair and transparent contracts, adoption of technologies outside of the core provider offering and access to customer data are achievable standards that will allow banks to be innovative and competitive. The Committee believes these Principles are the foundation for a strong bank-core relationship.

These companies have informed ABA that they are committed to supporting the Principles for Strong Bank Core Relationships.
