Banking Data Model


The Banking Data Model is a scope of the Financial Industry Business Data Model (FIB-DM), the largest reference standard for Retail, Commercial, and Investment Banks. FIB-DM is a complete model transformation of FIBO, the Financial Industry Business Ontology.

Global banks created the FIBO as an open-source industry standard for concepts, their relationships, and definitions. We used our patented Ontology to Data-model Transformation, CODT, to make it available in the leading data modeling tool, SAP PowerDesigner.

The complete FIBO Data Model covers all Financial Institutions, including fund and investment managers, with extensive support for Securities and Derivatives.
Banks scope a subset of FIB-DM comprising Loans and Mortgages, Collateral, Accounts, Payments, and Transactions.
