The advent of fintech is blowing a new wind into the financial industry. New business models have been created and consumers’ access to financial services is higher than ever. Internet-only banks based on advanced information technologies have emerged as a leader in the fintech industry, and these banks are fiercely competing with large banks using internet banking as a weapon to attract new customers. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence customers’ intention to switch to internet-only banking services from traditional internet banking services in Korea. To this end, a research model was developed based on the push-pull-mooring model (PPM), which is a migration theory. The research model was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings will provide the practitioners of the new internet-only bank with strategic guidance for attracting new customers and help practitioners of traditional banks to retain current customers.

Technology and financial inclusion are the popular coinage in banking parleys in the country. While technological upgradation and mobile banking are catching up so fast, financial inclusion is tardy. Financial inclusion is a major agenda for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Without financial inclusion, banks cannot reach the un-banked. It is also a major step towards increasing savings and achieving balanced growth. The reach the country is having with technological progress mobile banking has the potential to emerge as a game changer in terms of costs, convenience, and speed of reach. Business models of banks, telecom operators and other stakeholders need to converge. However, the banking industry’s penetration to un-banked areas is still found sluggish. The role of the Indian banker is challenging. At one end of this spectrum lies the demand to achieve financial inclusion as nearly 50 per cent of the population is yet to be covered under the formal system of banking and at the other end lies the task to fulfil the needs of the existing customers. The first priority for banks is to adopt core banking solution (CBS), including all regional rural banks (RRBs). Next, a multi-channel approach using handheld devices, mobiles, cards, micro-ATMs, branches and kiosks can be used. However, it should be ensured that the transactions put through such front-end devices should be seamlessly integrated with the banks’ CBS. In rural areas, where accessibility is a problem, banks are using the microfinance network and business correspondents and facilitators to bring more people under the ambit of banking services. Capitalising on the huge untapped potential in smaller towns and cities and rendering financial services to this segment of people poses a big challenge. Few banks have explored technology solutions to increase the scale of their microfinance portfolios, with the use of smart cards and core banking solutions.

Modern information systems are extending the traditional boundaries of organizations incorporating external recourses in the form of data and services. The need to support increasing client demands has led to dynamic and more complex business processes. Complex workflows in networked organizations are much more difficult to manage since traditional approaches are not suited for distributed environments. Service-Oriented approaches in the form of Web or Grid services bear the potential of increased performance and flexibility. In this work, we discuss the use of a relatively new computing paradigm that leverages distributed service-oriented business models: the Grid. We discuss how the Grid can facilitate efficient intra-business processes in highly dynamic virtual enterprises and present a high level architecture for managing complexity of business functions using Grid services.

The article considers the main digital transformational changes in the banking business. The current state of banks' use of financial digital technologies is analyzed, and the factors of digital transformation that affect their financially stable development are singled out. It is determined that the digitalization of the world economy over the past decade has posed new challenges to the banking system, which are caused by increased competition in the financial services market. The factors of emergence of financial intermediaries of the new generation and the need for digital transformation of contemporary banks are described. It is proved that the digital transformation of the banking sector of the economy is due to the development of financial technologies, digital marketing channels and innovation. Three main holistic proposals for FinTech development have been identified. The digital transformation of the banking business is changing not only the supply to customers. It is changing the contours of the business and staffing requirements. Such tools as ATMs and self-service terminals, telephone banking, SMS banking, Internet banking and mobile banking represent the evolution of customer access channels to banking services based on the use of information and communication technologies. The article considers the basic scheme of transformation of a classical bank into a dynamic system of a digital bank by gradually forming the directions of digital distribution. Further digital transformational changes in the banking business should be aimed at the vectors of financial education of consumers of banking services, regulation of the cryptocurrency market in Ukraine, definition of common standards of regulation and supervision of banks and non-banking institutions in the area of digital financial services.

Digital transformation is the main direction of development of the national financial industry. Traditional banking services are being transferred to online services, especially in the context of the rapid growth of e-commerce. The introduction of new information channels of remote interaction allows credit institutions to reduce their costs, improve the quality and speed of customer service, balance active and passive operations, expand the «line» of banking products and financial services, stabilize and expand the customer base. The development of the banking business based on the introduction of a fast payment system is becoming a necessity for all categories of retail and corporate clients. The creation and development of the infrastructure of the fast payment system is a priority project of the Bank of Russia for the development and expansion of non-cash payments. This project is aimed at developing the availability of financial services in remote regions of Russia and reduces the costs of market participants.

Zusammenfassung: Die Analyse beleuchtet die Aspekte diversifizierter Marktstrukturen sowie regional ausgerichteter Geschäftsmodelle als vorteilhaft für Finanzstabilität. Heterogenität schützt vor gleichgerichtetem Marktverhalten. Regionale Kreditinstitute können das Problem asymmetrischer Informationen besser überwinden, insbesondere bei der Kreditvergabe an KMU. Darüber hinaus sind weitere gesellschaftspolitische Aspekte in die Bewertung einzubeziehen: finanzielle Einbindung, Präsenz in ländlichen Gebieten und der Abbau regionaler Disparitäten. Die umfangreiche Regulierung und Europäisierung der Aufsicht – bislang unter Vernachlässigung von Unterschieden im Risikoprofil und Institutsgrößen – erzwang jedoch eine höhere Mindestinstitutsgröße, was zu einem umfassenden Fusionstrend führte, der insbesondere kleinere und regional ausgerichtete Kreditinstitute negativ traf. Es scheint daher, dass der Prozess der Re-Intermediation und Wiederausrichtung des Bankgeschäfts auf einlagenbasierte Kreditvergabe, der nach der Finanzmarktkrise zu beobachten war, nur kurz währte. In Bezug auf jüngere Entwicklungen argumentieren wir, dass FinTech-Anwendungen vorhandene Bank- und Finanzdienstleistungen ergänzen, aber nicht ersetzen werden. Wir warnen jedoch vor bestehenden Regelungslücken und Möglichkeiten regulatorischer Arbitrage für FinTech-Anwendungen und BigTech-Ansätze Summary: The analysis highlights the aspects of diversified market structures and of local, low-distance banking as advantageous for financial stability. Heterogeneity protects from uniform market behaviour. Local banking can better overcome the problem of asymmetric information, particular in SME lending. Moreover, connections to other socio-political aspects must be factored into the assessment: financial inclusion, presence in rural areas, and depletion of regional disparities. The vast regulation and Europeanisation of supervision, however,—so far neglecting differences in risk profiles and bank sizes—have imposed a higher minimum business size, which led to an extensive merger trend, especially negatively affecting smaller and regionally focussed credit institutions. So it seems that the process of re-intermediation and re-directing banking business back to deposit-based lending, taken place in the aftermath of the financial crisis, was of short length only. Regarding recent developments, we argue that FinTech applications are expected to complement, not to replace, existing banking and financial services. However, we warn against existing regulatory loopholes and regulatory arbitrage for FinTech applications and BigTech approaches.

In recent years, technology companies have been appearing on the financial market, providing a wide range of financial services in a new digital format, creating serious competition for banks. In the context of declining revenues from traditional services and rising transaction costs, banks began to develop and implement partner services — ecosystems. This requires banks to change the way they provide services, their product range and a qualitative restructuring of operational processes. These services provide banks with an influx of revenue and customer loyalty. This article considers the necessity and reasons for the emergence and development of banking ecosystems. The most popular directions of their development are summarized. The main models of their functioning are characterized. The examples of banking ecosystems currently operating in Russia are given. The conclusion is made about the need for digital transformation (digitalization) of the banking business, which covers all aspects of the activities of not only the Bank, but also its clients. The main distinguishing feature of this transformation is its complexity. All this will help to maintain the banking segment in the market, as well as increase the efficiency of banking services due to their complexity and reduce operating costs.
