Don't pick a framework or even a language until you know at least in some detail what your
system will do.
It sounds like you will want to use Swing with a MySQL backend.
Based on what?
That is an insane answer.
If it's a Web application then Swing could be the wrong choice.
MySQL is likely the wrong choice.
Would you use Swing to calculate the interest on a credit card? (Trick question.)
Navnath - pay no attention to anyone who recommends a particular package or
software framework at this stage. It's not even clear that Java is the right choice.
Also, be careful with float and double rounding errors.
There should be no use of 'float' in financial calculations. I have heard people
defend the use of 'double' for certain use cases, but I am dubious of that
reasoning. I would avoid 'double'.
Obviously this doesn't apply to screen coordinates in your Swing classes.
Of which there may be none.
"Banking software" is a large topic and a huge universe of functionality, most of
which is out of reach of the typical one-person shop. What is your intent? What
scope? Who's the audience for your product?
