Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the context of exponential growth in the transformation of the financial sector, digital banking technologies are becoming increasingly important in ensuring financial security. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of digital banking technologies in ensuring the financial security of credit institutions, as well as to determine the extent to which these factors affect the stability of banking operations. The paper examines the main directions of digitalization in the banking sector, including the expansion of remote service channels, the automation of business processes, the development of digital payment technologies, the use of big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies, as well as the development of cybersecurity systems. Particular attention is paid to the dual nature of digital technologies in the banking sector: on the one hand, their ability to reduce operational, credit, and fraud risks, and on the other hand, the threats they pose, including the growth of cyber risks, data leaks, and technological dependence. The study uses methods of analysis and synthesis, a systematic and comparative approach, and a summary of the scientific views of foreign and domestic authors. The study confirmed the thesis that the successful implementation of digital banking solutions, supported by effective risk management and regulatory improvements, enhances the financial stability and sustainability of the banking sector. Keywords: digital banking technologies, financial security, digitalization, cyber risks, financial stability.
