Points Bank

The database that stores all loyalty transactions with customers including balance - no points program can exist without this feature
Currency Exchange

The ability to enable the exchange between loyalty currencies - this is a useful feature but not a fundamental requirement of a loyalty program

Other

The ability to add one or more partners who also issue the same loyalty currency and which enables visibility into the partners' activities with customers. While not a fundamental requirement, most programs are expanding to include many partners issuing the same loyalty currency
