Digital Transformation in Banking
Research Guide
What is Digital Transformation in Banking?
Digital Transformation in Banking examines the adoption of digital technologies to modernize core banking systems, enhance customer experiences, and improve competitiveness in retail and corporate banking sectors.
Studies focus on neobanking models, system upgrades, and profitability via event studies and analytics (Kolodiziev et al., 2021; 37 citations). Research highlights impacts of digitalization on Ukrainian banks' competitiveness and global fintech integration (Melnychenko et al., 2020; 37 citations). Over 10 key papers from 2020-2021 analyze these shifts, with 30-68 citations each.
Why It Matters
Digital transformation enables banks to counter fintech competition through online services and e-payments, as shown in Ukrainian bank competitiveness analysis (Kolodiziev et al., 2021). It drives economic growth via banking sector efficiency, with causality links identified between banking development and GDP in Ukraine and EU countries (Rushchyshyn et al., 2021). Innovations like digital banking technologies boost operational modernization and resource allocation for microeconomic systems (Tulchynska et al., 2021).
Key Research Challenges
Measuring Competitiveness Impact
Quantifying how digital transformation affects bank profitability remains difficult amid rapid fintech growth. Kolodiziev et al. (2021) assess Ukrainian banks' shift to online models but note gaps in longitudinal data. Event studies struggle with isolating digital effects from market factors.
Core System Modernization Barriers
Legacy systems hinder full digital integration in banking operations. Popelo et al. (2021) review world experiences in financial innovations, highlighting implementation delays in Ukrainian models. Resource constraints limit innovation strategies during digitalization (Tulchynska et al., 2021).
Customer Experience Redesign Risks
Balancing digital service adoption with traditional customer retention poses challenges. Melnychenko et al. (2020) identify dominant fintech ideas in digital banking but point to adoption barriers. Analytics reveal uneven impacts on retail versus corporate segments.
