We have just updated the
WAND Banking Taxonomy. This taxonomy now has 1,663 terms with 1,573
synonyms covering Banking Processes, Regulations, Lines of Business, Fees, Banking Documents, and much more.

The
financial services industry has been quite proactive in
adopting taxonomies due to complex compliance and retention
requirements. WAND originally created this taxonomy leveraging experience
in helping create taxonomies for dozens of credit unions and financial
institutions. We took this knowledge as a base and built on it
to create a taxonomy that is a strong starter set for any commercial and
retail banking institution.
The
WAND Banking Taxonomy was specifically designed to help banks tag
and organize their unstructured information with relevant, industry
specific concepts, processes, subjects, and document types.
With the update, Banking Documents now holds narrower terms for Bank Customer Documents as well as Internal Bank Documents. Bank Legislation and Regulations was also expanded - all Central Banks were added by region and there is a new section for International Banking Regulations and Regulatory Governing Bodies. Also expanded were the categories of Banking Metrics and Risk Management.
The WAND Banking Taxonomy can be customized to
include specific terms to meet the needs of any Investment Firm.
As with all WAND Taxonomies, the
WAND Banking Taxonomy is available by itself or as part of the
WAND Taxonomy Library Portal.
