ABA Bank Management Simulation

BankExec®

Reinforce Financial Management Skills with This Unique Simulation Program

BankExec® is ABA’s proprietary software that allows participants to virtually run a mid-sized commercial bank. BankExec® is based on the legacy BankSim® software and has been used to educate students since 1975. Exercises in asset/liability management, capital planning, gap analysis, accounting and taxes, marketing and resource allocation, forecasting and planning, economics, and the pricing of bank services, are reinforced by "what-if" scenarios that demonstrate the impact to the balance sheet of management's decisions. BankExec® provides a bigger picture of the bank by having teams work together to:

  • Run a virtual bank in a changing economic and regulatory environment
  • Test pricing and funding decisions to see their impact on key indicators like net interest margin and stock price
  • Learn how balance sheet structure influences profitability, including net interest margin and stock price
  • See how decisions made in one area of the bank affect others

BankExec® is an integral part of the curriculum at the ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking and many state bankers association schools. It is the core of the Business of Banking in-bank program. 

BankExec® is Internet-based and will run on any internet-ready device.
