I believe you intend to capture and avoid adding duplicate Customer records whenever they are added. Moreover, you intend to do so without writing an Apex trigger for performing dupe checks.
- Create a new Text field on Customer and call it CustomerDupeKey__c. Mark this field as Unique.
- The CustomerDupeKey__c field is a combination of BankId and CustomerCode separated by an underscore "_".
- In your Apex code, you generate the CustomerDupeKey__c value and insert the Customer record as usual. If this combination of BankId and CustomerCode already exists, the unique constraint will automatically retrict the creation of a duplicate.
Additionally you can also Duplicate Rules and Matching Rules provided by Salesforce to report or restrict creation of duplicates. This is an out of box feature and requires no Apex code.
