Core System Upgrade Project for a National Joint-Stock Commercial Bank

Project Background

To support its business growth, the bank initiated a next-generation core banking system transformation project, drawing on distributed architecture design concepts from the internet industry. This effort involves a comprehensive upgrade of both the deployment and application architecture of the core banking system.

Business Challenges
  • 01

    The direct bank is positioned to operate independently in the future, requiring its own standalone account and payment systems.

  • 02

    From a technical perspective, it is necessary to decouple the account and payment systems from the existing core system.

Solution

The Solution Includes the Following Measures:


Building a Distributed Financial Cloud Platform

A distributed financial cloud platform was built to support core functionalities such as customer management, product factory, deposit management, and card management. The platform is capable of serving a massive customer base, handling sudden spikes in transaction volume, and supporting large-scale data processing, meeting the demands of interest rate liberalization and internet-driven banking scenarios.

Establishing Distributed Financial Cloud Technology Standards

A comprehensive technical standard system was established for the distributed financial cloud, covering key technologies such as distributed caching, message middleware, and distributed databases, ensuring the platform’s stability and long-term scalability.

Achievements
  • Daily transaction volume reached 200 million, scalable to 300 million with future expansion;

  • Supports ultra-large-scale business concurrency, with TPS exceeding 10,000;

  • Eliminated single points of failure—system remains available even during partial hardware failures;

  • Enables unified product management and analytics with a consolidated product parameter view;

  • Effectively addresses concurrency for hotspot accounts;

  • Significantly enhances disaster recovery capabilities.
