bank manager?

[Stryker]

I've searched google for a while, couldn't find anything. I was wondering if anyone knew of a bank manager for linux. Not something that a consumer would buy, something the bank would use to keep track of their customers and their accounts (checking, saving, credit...). I'm just curious, never played around with such a program before.

keep everything up2date when balancing ur checkbook, or organizing account finances.

I'm not looking for personal software though, i'm looking for something a national bank would use. I dont have any examples or i'd give you one. You know when you go to the bank and that nice lady behind the counter is punching away at some DOS like program networked with the others?

I'm sure big banks use bespoke software for that. I doubt you can get anything like that 'off the shelf'.

Alright, but how about some credit union that has 2 branches? surely they dont won't have custom software. There has to be something out there, i'm just having a bit of trouble finding any... even for windows.

If the business is that small then they'd probably just use a database, which could be built fairly easily. Do you actually need this for something?

YA! but sorry to say that banks are running a windows application! *usually on a DELL*

yep, my own curiosity and education. a database wouldn't be able to handle processing checks, credit/debit cards, and direct deposits. it could hold client information, i'm sure they all use a database of some sort for that. this database would have to have a lot of tables and fields, it would be pretty big with no data. anyone know where i can find such a database?
