intermediaries, blockchain reduces transaction costs, enhances transparency,
and speeds up settlement times. Many banks, including JPMorgan Chase and
HSBC, are exploring blockchain to improve their payment systems. JPMorgan
has even launched its own blockchain network, JPM Coin, to facilitate
instantaneous and cost-efficient transactions between institutional clients.
Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin and Ethereum, are also challenging the
traditional role of banks in the financial system. While central banks and
regulators have expressed concerns about the volatility and regulatory
challenges posed by cryptocurrencies, there is growing interest in how they
could reshape payment systems and even challenge the traditional currency
models used by central banks. PEER-TO-PEER LENDING (P2P) AND DIGITAL
LOANS Peer-to-peer lending is another Fintech innovation that is challenging
traditional banking services. P2P lending platforms such as Lending Club,
Prosper, and Funding Circle enable individuals to lend money directly to
borrowers, bypassing the need for traditional banks. These platforms have
democratized access to credit, particularly for borrowers who may not have
access to loans from traditional banks due to factors like lack of collateral or
credit history. 5) RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The research methodology
outlines the approach and techniques that will be used to conduct the study
and address the research objectives related to the impact of Fintech on the
traditional banking sector. Given that this project focuses on secondary data
and qualitative analysis, the methodology is designed to ensure a
comprehensive and systematic investigation into how Fintech is disrupting
the banking industry, promoting financial inclusion, and driving digital
transformation. Below is a detailed breakdown of the research
methodology: I. RESEARCH DESIGN This study follows a descriptive research
design, as it seeks to describe the current state of Fintech adoption, its impact
on traditional banks, and the broader implications for the financial services
industry. Descriptive research is appropriate for understanding the
phenomena, identifying patterns, and gaining insights into how Fintech has
influenced various aspects of banking, including financial inclusion, customer
service, and business models. II. SECONDARY RESEARCH Academic Journals
and Research Papers: Peer-reviewed papers and articles from academic
databases like Google Scholar, JSTOR, and Science Direct will provide
theoretical frameworks, existing research, and expert opinions on the
intersection of Fintech and traditional banking. Industry Reports: Reports
from prominent consultancy firms, such as McKinsey, Deloitte, PwC, and
Accenture, will be used to analyse trends in Fintech innovations, the evolving
role of banks, and the impact of emerging technologies such as blockchain,
artificial intelligence, and cloud computing on banking services.
