Abstract
The reason for the digitalization of banking is the change in the economic environment of financial institutions caused
by the rapid development and introduction of information technologies. The purpose of the study is analysis of the economy
digitalization impact on banking. The study dealed with systematic approach, generalization, statistical analysis, graphic method,
expert estimates. The essence of digitalization concept, its purpose and ways of implementation are considered. Digitalization in
banking is the process of implementing innovative technological solutions in any sphere of banking activity in order to increase the
efficiency of banking and maintain a competitive position on the market. This will help banks increase their competitiveness and
profitability, as well as expand their customer base. The main prerequisites contributing to the implementation of digitalization
in the banking sector are highlighted. The result of the study is the determination of the active digitization consequences for the
financial and banking sector, such as an increase in the volume of non-cash transactions using payment cards and their structure
by types, a decrease in the number of structural divisions of banks, and an increase in competition in the banking sector due to
the appearance of new participants. The best examples in the essay are the new participants of the financial markets - BigTech,
neobanks and FinTech - which can act as competitors or partners for banks. The main point is the cooperation between the
banks and FinTech startups is mutually beneficial: the examples of such cooperation in Ukraine are discussed in the article. Our
investigation shows that the digital transformation of the banking business is an objective necessity for maintaining competitiveness
in the era of information technology. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the need to take into account the
outlined trends in the development of the financial sphere by the banks and the prospects for cooperation with FinTech companies.
