The recent economic climate has had direct repercussions on people’s daily lives. This has occurred not only in how they use payment instruments, but is also evinced in new concerns adjacent to technological advances, people’s safety and the credibility of financial institutions. In this regard, the banking sector has had a crucial role in countries’ economic development, making it increasingly important to understand how the banking system operates and what payment instruments are available to users. Relying on specialized literature and the application of fuzzy cognitive mapping, this study aims to understand the cause-and-effect relationships between customers’ preference factors in using payment instruments. The results show that usability aspects and safety concerns constitute the factors which users pay more attention to. Strengths and limitations of our proposal are also discussed.

Summary Appraisal of Financial Situation of the Polish Banking Sector from 2008 to 2012 The banking system is a very important element of the financial system of a country. As institutions of public trust, banks play a crucial role in the process of transforming savings into investments, which directly affects the country’s economic development.

The article aims to present the essence of operations of banks as financial institutions, present their role in the economy, and describe various methods of appraising their financial condition. In order to fulfil the above goals, a research hypothesis is put forward stating that the financial condition of the banking sector in Poland deteriorated in the analysed period as a result of an adverse impact of turbulence in financial markets and problems in banking sectors in the European Union countries.

It is proved by the consequences of crises in the banking sector that have occurred in Ukraine over the past few years. Awareness of the importance of this area and the possible consequences of unlawful encroachments have determined the need to search for all legal means for combating delicts in the sphere of banking operations.

As has been argued throughout this paper, the different way in which banks have been affected by the crisis is closely linked to their distinct business model. Consequently, the characteristic structure of the balance sheet in big banks and ethical banks is correlated with their divergent dynamic during the crisis. While the financial turmoil has left the business approach of ethical banks unchanged, as evidenced in the striking stability of their balance sheet from 2007 to 2009, the pattern shown by big banks has substantially changed over this same period. These developments would tend to suggest the need to reform the business model of big banks. There is no clear empirical evidence that a banking system with a large number of small institutions would be any more stable than the system as it currently stands. Besides, financing certain big projects would always require the existence of large international banks. Both types of financial institutions are in fact complementary. How to regulate the banking and financial sector is thus a complex and multifaceted issue. One cannot impose the same requirements on big international-oriented banks and small domestic banks. As this paper has tried to demonstrate, both have a distinct business model.

Finance Growth Nexus

Since the 1990s assets of institutional investors have remained elevated in comparison to those of deposit-taking financial institutions in South Africa. This paradigm shift in the financial markets has provoked the ongoing theoretical and empirical debate, which, on the one hand, pits institutional investors as causing financial disintermediation against, on the other hand, deposit-taking financial institutions in promoting economic development. These and other conflicting views on financial intermediation have promoted the finance-growth nexus hypothesis, which draws lessons from the Patrick (1966) demand-following and supply-leading propositions (Patrick, 1966). The study uses the Johansen (1991) co-integration tests, the vector error correction and the Granger causality approaches to establish the role played by institutional investors in the finance-growth nexus in South Africa based on quarterly data spanning 1994 to 2009. Findings suggest that a demand-following phenomenon exists in South Africa in which the growth in the institutional investors industry is dependent upon the level of economic development and banking sector development.

It has been agreed that marketing of Bank services has been much neglected aspect of Banks and this has hindered the growth of Indian Banks in their role of assisting economic development. Banks need to change from ‘account oriented’ to ‘customer oriented’ approach. Today’s customer’s needs and expectations are changing very fast. To meet these needs and expectations a sensitively responsive Banking system is essential. The urban Co-Operative Banking sector is playing an important role. This sector is growing steadily year after year. It is providing helping hand for common man, middleclass people and small income groups.

The study is aimed at determining the level of electronic services provided in Syrian banks and identifying the level of their compliance with the trends of modern technological developments. The authors make the comparison of the Syrian banks with the best practices of using information technologies to provide their services by world banks that use the concept of electronic service.The study showed, that despite the banking sector in Syria is striving to be modern and improve along with technological developments, there is a significant reduction in the use of electronic banking. Syrian banks are required to adhere to a sufficient number of material and technical requirements to implement the concept of a real electronic service. Among the priority tasks the authors highlight the expansion of the use of electronic money in the country, the network of ATM machines, bank cards. However, in order to reach the level of global banks, it is important to move to a digital omnichannel development strategy.As an example of the implementation of ecosystem projects, the paper considers some of leading Russian companies that build their ecosystem around customers based on the principle of “Lifestyle Banking”. Based on Russian practice, the article presents a number of recommendations that will improve the electronic banking of Syria. This will allow the country not only to restore the banking system, but also give the opportunity to keep up with global technological advances, as well as compete with international banks.

Subject Tajikistan's troubled banking sector. Significance Tajikistan's banking system has been in crisis since 2015, as problems in Russia feed through to this remittance-dependent economy. A decline in funds sent home by labour migrants has shrunk bank deposits, and the proportion of non-performing loans has risen sharply. The cash crisis is exacerbated by poor management and cronyism in financial institutions. The main banks, Tojiksodirotbank and Agroinvestbank, have restricted customer withdrawals. Impacts International financial institutions will condition assistance on reforms. However, the government will balk at any reform measures liable to hurt the rich and powerful. The government may seek Chinese support for the banking sector.

Banks are traditionally measured as pillars of economic prosperity. The best banking system will be able to ensure good production in all sectors of the economy. Money laundering is the process of providing legitimate appearance to the illegally gained revenue. Money Laundering has the tradition of eroding the financial institutions and weakening the financial sectors’ role in economic growth. It has the habit of facilitating corruption, crime and other illegal activities at the expense of countries development and can increase the risk of macroeconomic instability. Banks and other financial institutions are at the forefront of the battle against the money launderers. The negative economic effects of money laundering on economic development are difficult to quantify. International society expects every bank to perform customer identification and due diligence as it is the important control measure in preventing criminals from entering into the legitimate economy. The cost involved in combating money laundering and terrorist financing transactions are increasing largely on yearly basis however unable to eradicate them.

This study examined the effects of financial dualism and inclusion on the economic development in Nigeria. Data were obtained principally from primary sources, interviews and questionnaires.  The sample for the study consisted of one hundred (100) respondents randomly selected from shop owners in Eke Ugwu market, in owerri capital territory. The qualitative data were transformed into quantitative form with the use of likert scale. The ordinary least square (OLS) estimation technique was employed to test for relationship in the model. The study revealed a significant relationship between financial inclusion and economic development in Nigeria. The study further revealed that the delivery of quality financial services at affordable price and terms to the generality of the populace especially the disadvantaged and lower income segment of the society is the essence of financial inclusion. This study therefore recommends that the monetary authorities should ensurethat banks offer prompt and timely services. Neck-to-measure services should be produced and made available to customers at affordable prices.  Again, Banks and other financial institutions should design appropriate packages that will assist in collaborating with the informal financial institutions so that the funds so far mobilized by them are integrated into the banking sector. This will reduce the volume of currency outside the banking sector.

The Cost

Technological advances in data transmission and processing are an important structural factor influencing the banking sector. As they have an important impact on the cost base of banks and are characterized by large one-off costs, it is argued that investments in digital technologies enhance the positive returns to scale in the banking system. This in turn further improves the competitive position of the largest market players, creating a positive feedback loop. In the longer run, this leads to a polarization of the banking sector, between large universal banks and small specialized banks. These processes are important from the point of view of macroprudential policy, notably in the dimension of reducing the risks connected with the emergence of “too big to fail” institutions. The chapter illustrates these issues using the results of a survey on the investments of banks in digital transformation in Poland, focusing on the relationships between market structure, financial position, and investments in digital technologies.
