Digital banking has become a fundamental requisite for most banks and their digitally savvy consumers. It is believed that by 2030, technology will drive a fundamental shift in banking where traditional banks will become hidden or even invisible.

According to GBSB Global Business School, this innovation of digital finance has the potential to create many new digital careers. Which will require different new training and degree programmes.

Digital finance is also becoming more and more mainstream. From customary online banking to crypto trading with Bitcoin, Terra, Shiba Inu, and many other evolving digital currencies, the term digital finance is generally used to describe the use of new technologies within the financial services industry. It takes stock of products, applications, processes, and business models that have revolutionised the traditional banking and financial services industry.

It is predicted that leading banks will also use technology and consumer data to direct financial services at the customer's moment of need, often at the expense of brand visibility, buried within a broader, more digital, connected way of life.
