Unlocking the full potential of digital transformation in banking: a bibliometric review and emerging trend

Abstract

Purpose Every aspect of life has been affected by digitization, and the use of digital technologies to deliver banking services has increased significantly. The purpose of this study was to give a thorough review and pinpoint the intellectual framework of the field of research of the digital banking transformation (DBT). Methodology This study employed bibliometric and network analysis to map a network in a single study, and a total of 268 publications published between 1989 and 2022 were used. Findings Our findings demonstrate that the UK, USA, Germany, and China are the countries that have conducted most of the studies on the digital banking transformation. Only China and India are considered emerging economies; everyone else is looking at it from a developed economy perspective. Additional research reveals that papers rated with A* and A grades frequently publish studies on digital banking transformation. Once more, the analysis identifies key theoretical underpinnings, new trends and research directions. The current research trend points toward FinTech, block chain, mobile financial services apps, artificial intelligence, mobile banking service platforms and sustainable business models. The importance of emphasizing the need for additional research in these fields of study cannot be stressed, given the expanding popularity of blockchain technology and digital currency in the literature. Originality It appears that this is the first study that examines the theoretical studies of digital banking transformation using bibliometric analysis. The second element of originality is about the multiple dimensions of the impact of technology in the banking sector, which includes customer, company, bank, regulation authority and society.

Digital Organisational Culture: Capturing Local Banking in Digital Transformation

Behavioral biases and personal indebtedness: a systematic literature review

“…The main assumption of a co-occurrence analysis is that the authors' keywords constitute an adequate proxy for the content of the articles or the relationship that the article establishes between the problems, and their interrelationships can provide reasonable details about the intellectual structure of a given eld of knowledge, research patterns and trends (Strozzi et al, 2017). Trends in the keywords displayed in various studies can be used to determine the main direction of the study for future investigations (Osei et al, 2023;Pesta et al, 2018).…”

Does Perceived of Risks and Benefits Drive Customers’ Intention to Share Information in Social Media? - Moderating Role of Customer Satisfaction

“…Therefore, this problem may cause customer behavior that is detrimental to BRI's image and performance due to concerns about increasing negative reviews on social media. Another reason related to choosing the focus of this research is because of problems occurring in the banking industry, including the shift in the increasingly passive role of banks for society due to digitalization and the easier it is for people to carry out self-service to obtain bank products (Osei et al, 2023;Zhu and Jin, 2023). Apart from that, digital transformation also means increasingly tight competition between companies.…”
