The problem statement highlights the need to understand the implications of Fintech on traditional banking services, while the research objectives aim to explore the extent of this impact. The study also acknowledges the limitations and scope of the research, emphasizing the significance of bridging the gap in knowledge regarding this emerging trend in the financial sector. The literature review encompasses ten key themes, including the adoption of Fintech by banks, customer preferences for digital services, regulatory challenges, cybersecurity risks, and the potential for financial inclusion through innovative technologies. By synthesizing existing research and industry reports, this section provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of Fintech in banking and identifies gaps for further exploration. The research methodology outlines the approach taken to investigate the impact of Fintech on traditional banking services. This includes the selection of research participants, data collection methods, analysis techniques, and ethical considerations. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods to gather insights from industry experts, bank executives, and customers to gain a holistic perspective on the subject. Chapter four presents a detailed discussion of the research findings, highlighting the key trends, challenges, and opportunities identified through the data analysis.
