insurance companies, and stock exchanges, that permit the
exchange of funds.
• Financial systems exist on firm, regional, and global levels.
Borrowers, lenders, and investors exchange current funds to
finance projects, either for consumption or productive

that borrowers and lenders use to decide which projects get
financed, who finances projects, and terms of financial deals.

IT in Banking sector
1. Entry of new banks resulted in a paradigm shift in the ways of banking in India. The
growing competition, growing expectations led to increased awareness amongst banks
on the role and importance of technology in banking.
2. The arrival of foreign and private banks with their superior state-of-the-art technology-
based services pushed Indian Banks also to follow suit by going in for the latest
technologies so as to meet the threat of competition and retain their customer base.
3. Indian banking industry, today is in the midst of an IT revolution. A combination of
regulatory and competitive reasons have led to increasing importance of total banking
automation in the Indian Banking Industry. Information Technology has basically been
used under two different avenues in Banking. One is Communication and Connectivity
and other is Business Process Reengineering.
4. At most banks, each functional area ticks by a narrow set of parochial metrics (for

containment). Consequently, adopting more holistic performance indicators entails
major cultural shifts across the organization.

2. Investors – Investors are constantly looking for structured quantitative data to see the progress of
their investments. With newer financial technology, investors can now receive more insightful and
faster analysis in real time. This also allows analysts to perform better forecasting analysis that can
potentially help companies and investors understand what the next steps can be. In turn, with these
improved analyses, investors can make higher quality investment decisions that can positively
affect the market.
3. Policymakers – To improve society as a whole, regulators and policymakers must also have a strong
understanding of current events. With many technological limitations, lawmakers used to be limited
to outdated reports that could have been months or even years old. With today’s advancements, data
can now be extracted quickly and can be provided in more useful formats that can help to improve
policymakers’ understanding of current situations inherent in society.
