The Influence Of The Information Economy On The Activities Of Banks

The banking system ensures the smooth functioning of the country's economy by servicing cash and non-cash payments, holding funds of legal entities and individuals, providing them with credit resources and many other types of operations. Banking activity is characterized by a high degree of risk, as banks operate under the constant threat of losing money and bankruptcy. Therefore, the fight against risk is an important task of the entire banking system, and ensuring banking safety becomes the cornerstone of the mechanism of financial security of the state. The existing problems in the banking system in modern conditions are exacerbated by the rapid development of the information economy, which is radically changing the payment landscape of entire countries and threatens the existence of the banking system as such in the usual sense.
