What are generic business processes?

What are the best resources to learn about banking terms, processes, and business rules (especially business/corporate banking)?

• I'm a developer/analyst for a company that provides solutions for corporate internet banking. One year into the business, I still find myself lacking knowledge on corporate banking. Are there resources (books, articles, websites, etc.) out there that can help me improve on this area?

• Answer:

  There is no easy answer for this. Depending on where in the world you are, the answer will vary. Some important pointers for you. You cannot short-circuit the learning time. It does take time to absorb it all. Think of it as no different from say trying to understand baking, carpentry, automobile engineering, etc. It works at its own pace. Spend as much time as you can with Bankers. They are your friends. Learn one or two things from them every time you meet up with them. When in doubt, call them up and ask. Remember, their time is precious, so be precise. Quora is a great resource to understand a lot in the banking space. So spend generous amount of time here. Look for workshops in the payments and banking space. Sign-up for them and attend them. Even if you walk away learning one thing, that is good enough. These workshops are a great way to network with people in the banking/payments space. Set aside one-hour at least for your learning.

Take time to learn and understand. Definitions may vary from territory to territory. Always consult multiple sources to get a better grasp on a definition and its explanation. Search for white-papers by various banking/payment companies. They go deep into explaining various concepts. These papers are difficult to read the first time around. But then, this is what you asked for. Reports: Perhaps the most important aspect of learning are reading and comprehending reports. Reports can seem very thick and boring to read, but they are worth their weight in gold. Read the circulars and manuals of your Central Bank. I cannot recommend a better source for learning. When in doubt, ask questions! Be patient with answers. YouTube: Watch as many finance, banking and payments related videos you can. Podcasts are also a fantastic way of learning, for some it is a subliminal way of learning. Shameless plug, but a podcast called Around The Coin by , and myself, explains a lot. It is a weekly podcast and you can access all the archives here: https://aroundthecoin.quora.com
