Abstract

This study examines the effect of bank size on digital performance through the mediating roles of consumer protection and platform development, and explores the interaction between these mediators. Using primary and secondary data from 87 Indonesian commercial banks offering digital services, consumer protection was measured via survey responses, while financial and digital indicators were obtained from official reports and app statistics. Data were analysed using covariance-based structural equation modelling. Results indicate that bank size positively affects both consumer protection and platform development, which in turn positively influence digital performance. However, consumer protection negatively affects platform development, creating a paradox. The findings reveal that while consumer protection directly enhances digital performance, it indirectly diminishes it through platform development. The indirect positive effect of bank size on digital performance is stronger via platform development than via consumer protection due to this paradoxical interaction.
