Finance Research Letters, 2024, vol. 66, issue C

Abstract: Competition among financial institutions is extremely fierce. How digital transformation can enhance banks’ competitiveness is a crucial question. In this study, we investigate the relationship between digital transformation and financial institution performance. Based on a sample of all commercial banks in China between 2010 and 2022, this study finds strong evidence that digital transformation improves bank performance. Furthermore, we find that this relationship is more pronounced when a region implements policies that encourage digitalization. Overall, this study contributes to the rapidly growing literature on enterprise digital transformation.
