Abstract: This paper aims to empirically investigate whether providing digital banking facilities to customers impacts bank performance. Our study analyses secondary data from 91 commercial banks in Indonesia in 2017-2018 with a total of 182 observations using multiple regression analysis. We find that all commercial banks in Indonesia have engaged themselves in digital banking in 2017-2018, although smaller banks still have limited features. Further, our empirical evidence demonstrates that digital banking positively affects bank performance. Providing more digital banking facilities results in better financial performance, specifically in efficiency and profitability. Our study suggests that commercial banks in Indonesia engage more in digital banking service at least by providing high-quality digital services that suit the needs of the bank's customers. Finally, considering the rapid development of digital financial services, we also suggest the Indonesia Financial Service Authority continuously conduct proper supervision to ensure the security of digital banking service in Indonesia.
