MyBanco (Software)

MyBanco from the day of it's conception was built to process large volumes of transactions in a fast but safe environment that was able to be horizontally scaled out, that is, to add the ability to perform more transactions in a second, all that is needed is to add another node into the system. This is a major benefit that MyBanco has over other systems such as PHPbank, who's speed can only be improved on if it is scaled vertically.

MyBanco was programmed by Tim Groeneveld for a study in large scale scalability.

A cheap MyBanco install can do 100 transactions a second.
