Banking System Using Python
A Banking System built with Python simulates core banking functionalities such as account creation, balance inquiry, deposit, withdrawal, fund transfer, and transaction history. It helps users perform simple banking operations through a command-line or GUI interface.
???? Project Objectives
- To simulate basic banking operations
- To implement secure and structured financial transactions
- To handle user data using file handling or a database
- To learn object-oriented programming concepts in Python
???? Core Features
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Account Creation | Allows users to open new accounts with unique account numbers |
Deposit / Withdraw | Update account balances securely |
Balance Check | Displays current account balance |
Fund Transfer | Transfer funds between accounts |
Transaction History | Logs all transactions per account |
Authentication | PIN or password-based access control |
???? Technology Used
✅ Language: Python (Core language)
✅ Concepts Implemented:
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) – Classes for Bank, Account, Transaction
- File Handling – For saving and reading account data (e.g., using .txt or .csv)
- Exception Handling – To manage invalid inputs, insufficient balance, etc.
- Data Structures – Dictionaries/lists to manage users and transactions
- Optional GUI – Using Tkinter for a user-friendly interface
???? Optional Enhancements
Enhancement | Description |
---|---|
GUI | Tkinter for visual interface |
SQLite / MySQL | Store accounts and transactions in a database |
Login System | User authentication using passwords/PINs |
Email Notification | Send confirmation for transactions (via SMTP module) |
Logging | Use logging module for backend activity logs |
???? Sample Workflow
- User runs the program
- Logs in or creates a new account
- Chooses action (Deposit, Withdraw, Transfer, Check Balance)
- Enters amount → System processes transaction
- Updates balance and logs the action
???? Simple Folder Structure
Tool / Library | Use Case |
---|---|
Tkinter | GUI interface |
SQLite3 | Lightweight database (optional) |
csv / json | Data storage |
datetime | Timestamp for transactions |
os | File path and user handling |
✅ Learning Outcomes
- Mastery of Python OOP and file handling
- Practical use of classes and modular design
- Basic understanding of transaction processing systems
- Foundation for building real-world fintech or database apps
