Banking Simulation

01Overview

BankCore Lite is an educational banking simulation. No real payments, no real money — the point is to show how a banking flow is modelled with a layered architecture. It is built on Java 21, JavaFX, SQLite and BCrypt.

There are two roles. The admin manages customers and accounts, freezes and unfreezes them, closes zero-balance accounts and inspects system transactions with filters. The customer can deposit, withdraw, transfer and view history — but only on active accounts.

02Key Features

• Admin panel — customer and account management, freeze/unfreeze and account closure
• System transactions — inspect every transaction with filters
• Customer panel — dashboard, deposit/withdraw, transfer and transaction history
• Statements — CSV, TXT and PDF statements via PDFBox
• Password security — BCrypt hashing, with the default admin credentials called out explicitly
• Configurable database — the SQLite path can be overridden with -Dbankcore.db.url

03Engineering Notes

• The package structure follows responsibilities: controller, service, repository, model, dto, exception, validation and util.
• The project is deliberately a simulation: it meets no compliance requirements, and the README says so plainly.
