EU/UK PI/EMI core banking selection

Payment Institutions and E-Money Institutions under PSD2 Article 10, UK PSR 2017 Regulation 23, PSD3/PSR, DORA and AMLR must select core banking software that evidences ledger, safeguarding, resilience, outsourcing and audit controls. This decision graph maps 61 nodes and 100 edges across six RFP domains, 15 vendors and 21 product nodes. Corebanq recused.

The EU/UK PI/EMI core banking selection graph maps the decision an EEA Payment Institution, E-Money Institution, or UK PSR 2017 buyer faces when selecting core banking software: the current regulatory baseline (PSD2 + UK PSR 2017), the forward-looking overlay (Council ST 8222/26 PSD3 and ST 8221/26 PSR final compromise texts), the operational-resilience anchors (DORA + EBA outsourcing guidelines), and the AML overlay (AMLR + AMLD6) — mapped onto six RFP control domains (ledger and safeguarding, payment-rail coverage, API and SCA integration, resilience and outsourcing, audit and observability, commercial and delivery fit) and onto the named vendor products that implement those controls.

The graph is vendor-neutral on every category in which Finray Technologies Ltd does not ship a product. Corebanq is Finray’s core banking product; it is recused from any ranking, scoring, or “best of” recommendation and is included as a referenced product node only. Every product node carries its primary-source URL with an accessed-date suffix; gaps are flagged as [evidence pending — vendor outreach required] rather than filled by inference.

Click any node or edge to inspect its evidence. The legend, top-right of the canvas, maps node colour to type. Pan with click-drag; zoom with the wheel; reset with double-click on background.

Reference index

The interactive decision graph above and the tables below cover the same data. The graph is for visual exploration; the tables index every regulation, standard, control, vendor and product in plain text with primary-source links — for search engines, citation tools and readers who prefer linear reading.

Regulatory anchors and supervisory standards

The legal instruments and supervisory standards an institution in this segment must satisfy. Each row links to the primary source — official journal page, supervisor circular, or standards body — with the date the source was last accessed.
