Banking Cores
Regulated core systems, reached only through the Grid.
Banking cores are the regulated systems of record, the platforms that hold accounts, loans, and members (CU*BASE, Symitar, Corelation, and more). They are reached only through the Grid, never through a third-party integration broker. A core is the most sensitive system a credit union runs, so it gets the strictest door.
Why cores go through the Grid
A third-party integration broker is the right tool for reaching a SaaS app; it is the wrong tool for a banking core. Core access runs the Grid's path, auth → kill-switch → rate-limit → audit → proxy, so every read and write is scoped, logged, and instantly revocable. Nothing regulated ever routes through the Connections broker.
The per-core data work
Every core speaks its own language. The deep, core-specific integration, normalizing CU*BASE, Symitar, and Corelation into one shape the Knowledge Fabric can serve, is months of work per core and the hardest thing for a competitor to copy. It is the moat a Runner stands on.
