 # Cooperative Bank Management System

 A production-ready, open-source **core banking solution** purpose-built for cooperative banks, credit societies, and microfinance institutions. Manages the complete banking lifecycle — from customer onboarding and KYC verification through loan disbursement, EMI collection, fixed deposits, and financial reporting — all from a single web application.
 
 Built with **Laravel 13** and deployable in one command via Docker. No banking software license fees. No vendor lock-in.
