Introduction

What is PentaBank?

PentaBank makes use of “Multi Tasking” capability of windows, thus enabling

the user to open multiple screens simultaneously & to toggle between

different screens in the application. This enables user to handle a SB A/c

holder, a CA holder, a Deposit and many more simultaneously, “Customer

satisfaction” being the primary objective.

Any changes recommended by the Bank’s governing bodies can be

incorporated into PentaBank within no time through the flexible

parameterization built into the system. This ensures continuity of operations.

PentaBank has a facility to scan, store, retrieve and verify the signatures - so

no more manual scanning of the voluminous records.

PentaBank can also scan, store, and retrieve photographs of account holders.

Only the employees of the bank who are authorized to access the system are

allowed to login to the system

Separate Login-Id’s are provided to identify the persons operating on the system

Automatic disabling of Logins after the expiry date. The system administrator

logins. They need not approach system Administrator for password changing.

the individual’s password except at the time of the installation/Login creation.
