Abstract: 
 
Purpose: This article investigates specifics of the transformation of banking activity in the 
conditions of digitalization of the economy. In the light of penetration of digital technologies 
into all the spheres of our life, the rapid development of financial technologies and their active 
implementation in the banking sector of the economy, digital financial innovations are formed 
at the intersection of the concepts of "financial technologies" and "financial innovations".
Design/Methodology/Approach: In order to investigate the process of transformation of the 
banking sector in the context of digitalization, it is necessary to consider this issue from three
points of view: 1) theoretical understanding of the concept of "financial technologies"; 2) the 
need to ensure the efficiency and sustainability of the banking sector; 3) the change in the IT- 
architecture of banking activities and the formation of the digital ecosystem with banks in the 
center. It is also reasonable to analyze promising areas of implementation of financial 
technologies into the banking sector. 
Findings: The main directions of the development of financial technologies in the banking 
sector, aimed at further transformation of traditional banking services through digital 
technologies.
