What BMA Core Technology does

BMA Core Technology, legally BMA Management Support Corporation and operating as BMA Banking Systems, is a Salt Lake City-based provider of core banking technology exclusively serving US community banks, De Novo institutions, credit unions, and Industrial Loan Companies. Founded in 1955 as Business Machine Accounting, Inc. and wholly owned by Central Bank since 1986, the company has operated in the community banking technology space for over 35 years.

The company's product suite is anchored by BankRite Core, a core banking platform that manages accounts, transactions, and customer data, and is extended by BankRite Apps (custom application development), BankRite Connect (API-driven third-party integration hub), Item Processing Services (transaction processing with direct Federal Reserve and ACH access including FedNow real-time payments), and Professional & Technical Services including Managed IT. The technology is built on an open, API-driven architecture designed for customizability and integration interoperability rather than as a monolithic suite.

BMA generates revenue through a mix of subscription-based core platform licensing, usage-based item processing fees, and project/retainer professional services, sold via an enterprise field sales motion with consultative discovery and quote-based pricing under multi-year contracts. The company employs content marketing, thought leadership (including a 4-Pillar Modernization Model), and dedicated client support channels. No AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in current product materials, and the company holds no disclosed patents, relying instead on trademarked product brands and deep domain specialization as competitive differentiation.
