Core Platforms Administrative Committee

ABA's staff-appointed Core Platforms Administrative Committee is focused on actions that ABA and ABA member banks can take to improve bank relationships with core providers, open opportunities for innovation in the core provider space and provide recommendations that can help everyone move forward together. The Committee initially identified bankers' top priorities for strengthening the bank-core relationships as data access, API deployment and contract fairness. To advance those priorities, ABA and the Committee developed a series of banker resources and continues to focus on banker’s key areas of importance.

Core Platforms Open Committee

ABA's banker-led Core Platforms Committee is focused on working collaboratively with the Administrative Committee to meet overarching goals and responsibilities set forth by said Committee; sharing best practices, successes and challenges in managing core relationships; and representing and advancing, the Committee and its work to other ABA members as well as external audiences including the media. This committee is only open to staff of ABA member banks.
