This will change the competitive dynamics and operating models of Indian Banking Sector creating opportunities to procure and secure customers. The steadiest path to address the challenge is Cross selling. From reduced customer acquisition cost to increase in the wallet share, the economics and financials of cross selling are very compelling and hence have become the strategic priority for Indian banking sector. Banks are placing greater emphasis on providing improved services to their clients, upgrading their expertise to augment customer’s overall experience thereby earning competitive edge. The banking complexity that spans multiple lines of products, diverse serviceable areas and distinct technologies and business processes must be coordinated using mobile banking apps to deliver effective cross-sell programs which the present study proposes.

Significance The firm plans to expand Kenya's 4G network, while pursuing a strategy of infrastructure sharing to contain costs. The move would augment the World Economic Forum-backed Northern Corridor initiative, which seek to extend affordable mobile internet to 75 million people. Impacts Growth in Ethiopia's mobile banking sector will expand at a modest pace due to strict regulatory controls. Authoritarian leaders facing social media-driven protests will likely use internet-blocking technology to frustrate opposition activists. Insecurity along the Kenya-Somali border will dissuade firms from installing mobile network towers there, curbing mobile penetration.

Since a few years, the banking sector in Africa has been transformed. The main factors that explain this transformation include the deleting of the regulatory measures of financial services, the effects of the globalising world and in particular the evolution of information technologies. It is now possible to offer alternative channels of distribution of services such as ATM and vending machines, credit cards and the mobile phone. The operators in the banking sector argue that the mobile bank would provide new opportunities for profits, cost reductions and a delivery of better services for customers. The objective of this paper is to analyse the determinants of the use of mobile banking in Burkina Faso. Taking into account the main variable of a qualitative nature, we used the logit model to perform the different estimates.

The presented study examines the digital banking model in the context of globalization.Aim. The study aims to analyze the nature and current state of digital banking and to determine perspective directions for its development in Azerbaijan.Tasks. The authors examine the major trends in the development of digital banking, determine its classification relative to the Russian digital banking market, and identify perspective directions for its development in Azerbaijan.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition to examine in various aspects the models of development, its trends, characteristic features, and perspective directions in Azerbaijan. Results. The progress of both Internet banking and mobile banking is closely associated with e-commerce. Out of 30 banks operating in Azerbaijan, 27 use Internet banking and 25 use mobile banking. At this point, 25% of current account transactions in Azerbaijani banks are conducted via electronic payments. According to the UNCTAD B2C E-commerce Index, Azerbaijan ranks 68th among 144 countries in terms of e-commerce development. Therefore, the most important strategic priorities for the country include improving the variety, quality, and services in the field of digital payments by consolidating the institutional and legal framework of these services, increasing the infrastructure capacity, and facilitating mass use. Expanding the scope of application of digital payments in the context of transparent economic transactions would reduce the costs associated with cash and operating losses of banks and institutions, which would in turn open up new opportunities for modern financial services, thus enhancing economic growth.Conclusions. Development of digital banking is a path toward economic transparency, shrinking of the underground economy, and an increase in tax revenues, the number of jobs, and GDP. The Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) is taking systemic measures aimed at expanding the digital transformation of the banking service and payment system. The implementation and development of innovative banking products should be reflected in the strategy of every bank. Digitalization could become one of the forces driving the development of the baking system and increase the level of trust between depositors and banks, making this sector more transparent. However, there is one major obstacle: a lack of understanding that business should be urgently transformed using digital technology.

Mobile phone has become an integral part of our lives. The penetration rate of mobile phones in the developing countries has increased abruptly and this is a good sign for the banking sector. Mobile banking is the most recently launched innovative feat in the banking sector. The unique ability of mobile banking to perform banking transactions irrespective of place and time has given a competitive edge over traditional banking. Even though, all circumstances are in favour of mobile banking, it has failed to take off in most of the developing countries. Hence, the main objective of the study is to find out the constructs which affect the adoption of mobile banking in India. A model has been proposed with the factors namely perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, self-efficacy, perceived risk, perceived enjoyment, relative advantage, compatibility, trust, social influence and personal innovativeness. The proposed model has been tested using various statistical analyses and the findings of this study reveal that relative advantage has the strongest relationship with the intention to use mobile banking.

The Indian banking sector has played a critical role in the overall economic growth. Private and foreign banks have started to gain traction in the sector typically dominated by government owned public banks. The sector’s assets have expanded vastly on account of several factors such as financial inclusion, increased competition, Indradhanush program, on-tap bank licensing, focus on mobile banking and technology along with others. While the sector has grown significantly, challenges and roadbloacks such as weak capital position of public banks, rise in non-performing assets, poor talent retention, weak consumer protection norms continue to haunt the sector and the overall economic growth. To counter these challenges, RBI has initiated reforms such as implementation of Basel III, enhanced provisioning for NPA, revised framework for resolution of stressed MSME loans, implementation of strategic debt restructuring (SDR), shift to a risk-based supervision model along with proposing a unified financial services regulator.

The active use of the latest information technologies and non-cash payment forms has led to an increase in various types of fraud in the financial sector. Moreover, virtually all spheres of public relations now fall under the risk of fraudulent schemes, starting from financial credit and insurance and ending with foreign economic activity and the Internet. In addition, some other economic factors contribute to the significant spread of fraudulent schemes in modern conditions: a wide variety of new financial instruments (types of money, securities, financial services); rapid growth in financial transactions; leveling barriers to the unhindered movement of money, goods, and services in the process of globalization, which provokes an increase in transnational financial crime. Therefore, in search of tools to preserve existing and generate potential income, especially trusting investors fall into the traps of scammers. With the development of the current economic institutionalism, the principle of rationality in human economic behavior was no longer considered absolute, therefore, representatives of the institutional theory noted the irrational nature of human behavior, including in the field of economics and finance. Modern reality and economic practice are clear evidence of the truthfulness of this thesis. After all, despite the constant warnings of the mass media and other sources regarding various fraudulent schemes, as well as (paradoxically) often their own negative experience, citizens continue to invest in various kinds of fraudulent schemes. According to experts, the main reason is that «people will always strive for «easy» money, and it is unlikely that this desire will ever disappear» (Bruton, 2015). In this paper, we study the possibilities of preventing financial fraud on an international scale. In the context of the complexity of modern business processes, one of the most urgent problems has become the problem of activating the manifestations of corporate fraud. On average, companies lose about 5% of their profits due to corporate fraud, and the annual losses from such economic crimes amount to about USD 4 trillion on a global scale. In Russia, this figure reaches 15% (and we are talking only about losses made public by companies). The lion’s share of fraudulent schemes falls on the banking sector. The implementation of fraudulent schemes in the banking sector has certain features, in particular: fraudulent actions cause damage not only to banks and their depositors, but also negatively affect the stability of the financial system as a whole; such crimes are characterized by high latency, since managers, fearing for the business reputation of their bank, only in isolated cases turn to law enforcement agencies with appropriate statements; identifying the facts of financial fraud is very difficult since fraudsters (often not without the help of bank managers) hide their actions in every possible way and take measures to launder funds obtained by criminal means.
