Operational resilience has become a core supervisory priority for financial institutions, particularly in ensuring the continuity of critical business services under severe but plausible disruptions.
For China Construction Bank (Malaysia) Berhad (CCBM), Core Deposit & Account Services represent one of the most fundamental banking functions, forming the backbone of customer relationships, liquidity management, and transactional capability.
This chapter examines the high-level critical business service “CBS-1 Core Deposit & Account Services” and systematically decomposes it into detailed sub-business services (Sub-CBS) to enhance clarity, accountability, and resilience planning.
The chapter presents a structured breakdown of the end-to-end processes that support deposit and account operations — from customer onboarding and account maintenance to transaction processing, interest computation, payment execution, foreign-currency servicing, and account closure management.
By identifying and defining these Sub-CBS components, the chapter provides a clearer understanding of operational dependencies, service-delivery mechanisms, and potential vulnerabilities within the bank’s core deposit infrastructure.
Purpose of the Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to define and articulate the detailed business processes underpinning China Construction Bank (Malaysia)’s critical business service “CBS-1 Core Deposit & Account Services” within the context of operational resilience. Specifically, it aims to:
- Identify and structure the key sub-processes that collectively deliver core deposit and account services.
- Establish a clear service taxonomy to support resilience mapping, impact tolerance setting, and dependency analysis.
- Provide a foundation for risk assessment, business continuity planning, and regulatory compliance relating to critical financial services.
By the end of this chapter, the reader is expected to understand how high-level critical services are decomposed into operationally manageable components, and how this structured approach strengthens resilience oversight and governance.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the business processes (Sub-CBS) for the critical business service “CBS-1 Core Deposit & Account Services” for China Construction Bank (Malaysia) Berhad (CCBM) — based on CCBM’s retail deposit products and account-related services as provided on their official site.
The table describes logical sub-processes that would be part of the operational delivery of Core Deposit & Account Services (typical for a commercial bank offering deposit and account services).
