In October 2016, the NFSA (National Financial Supervisory Authorities) revised the network separation clause of the Regulation on Supervision of Electronic Financial Activities in order to promote the Cloud Computing implementation in the financial sectors. The new regulation, however, limits the Cloud Computing usage to non-critical information and its processing system. Financial institutions that provide customer data analysis and personalized services based on personal data regard current revision as unchanged as before. The implementation of Cloud Computing has greatly contributed to cost reduction, business innovation and is an essential requirement in ever-changing information communication technology environment. To guarantee both security and reliability of the implementation of the Cloud Computing in financial sectors, a considerable amount of research and debate needs to be done. This paper examines current Cloud Computing policies in the Korean financial sector and the challenges associated with it. Finally, the paper identifies policy suggestions based on both European Union and United States' approach as they have successfully introduced Cloud Computing Services for their financial sectors.

Recently, the financial industry has seen a dramatic change due to the development of innovative technologies such as FinTech, but there is a lack of research on the digital level of financial institution workers. This study analyzes factors that affect the willingness of financial institution workers to accept digital innovation and to examine the relationship between acceptance intention and business performance. Based on the theoretical basis of UTAUT, independent variables were divided into internal expectations, external influences, facilitation conditions, and employment risks. Survey data of 100 bankers at N bank were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS 18. Studies have shown that internal expectations and external influences have positive effects on the acceptance intention of financial institution workers, and that facilitation conditions, employment risks do not. This study found a significant relationship between acceptance intention and business performance and confirming that acceptance intention has a direct and indirect impact on business performance. Study findings could be a reference to enhancing the willingness to accept digital innovation technologies and developing ways to improve business performance by validating factors that affect the willingness of financial institution workers to accept digital innovation.

This study is about the factors affecting organizational effectiveness and to suggest implications for encouraging organizational effectiveness. The conditional process model was analyzed with transformational leadership as an independent variable, educational service quality as a mediator, organizational effectiveness as a dependent variable, and trust as a moderator. The data collected from the financial institutions were analyzed using SPSS v22.0 and PROCESS macro v3.4. As a result, transformational leadership has a (+) effect on educational service quality, and educational service quality has a (+) effect on organizational effectiveness. Except for the relationship between charisma and innovative behavior, transformational leadership affect organizational effectiveness. Excluding the relationship between charisma and innovative behavior, educational service quality mediate between transformational leadership and organizational effectiveness. Trust only moderates between educational service quality and innovative behavior. Trust moderated the mediating effect of educational service quality between transformational leadership and innovative behavior. The results suggest the importance of education service quality management in a non-face-to-face working environment and the importance of individual consideration in innovative actions.

Open banking, the global trend of the financial industry, is the driving force behind various innovations in the financial market in the future. The right policy direction and detailed tasks are important for triggering the differentiation and reunion of the financial industry. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the background of open banking, domestic and international trends, and Korea's open banking policy. The policy directions and tasks for successful settlement and activation of open banking system are carefully suggested. Open banking is a policy to allow third party provider(TPP) access to bank accounts and open payment functions under the explicit consent of the customer. The opening of the open banking era is expected to begin competition and cooperation between banks and fintech companies in earnest, thus enhancing the competitiveness of the financial industry and contributing to the utility of financial consumers. To this end, policymakers should make every effort to advance open-ended financial settlement infrastructure, open banking legal grounds, and minimize side effects such as customer data leakage and poor financial system stability. Banks and fintech companies will need to focus on scattered customer financial information on a single platform and develop it into a convergence and discrimination of true financial services.

FinTech has been credited with generating positive economic outcomes by improving access to financial services through technological innovations. This study examines how FinTech diffusion impacts firm performance using the case of China-one of the world's fastest-growing FinTech markets. Moreover, given China's unique economic landscape-characterized by disparities between the eastern regions and the rest of the country, largely due to early policy decisions that prioritized efficient growth during the Reform and Opening-up period-regional variables (eastern vs. central-western) are incorporated into the model. A random effects model analysis was conducted using panel data collected over six years from listed companies in China. The hypothesis that the level of FinTech diffusion would have a positive impact on firm performance was not supported at the 5% significance level. However, statistical evidence was found for the moderating effect of regional disparities. Specifically, in regions with lower levels of economic development and underdeveloped financial infrastructure-where access to traditional financial services is constrained-the positive impact of FinTech diffusion was more pronounced. These findings suggest that while the economic benefits of FinTech diffusion may not uniformly enhance corporate performance, they can vary depending on contextual factors such as regional disparities.

The Fintech services provide innovation to financial services users using various mobile devices and computers in wired and wireless communication environments. In this study, we develope a theoretical research framework to explain the psychology of Fintech services users based on a cognitive, affective, and conative framework. Using this framework, this study analyzes the relationships between the cognitive characteristics (i.e., innovation, relative advantage, ease of use, and usefulness), emotional characteristic (i.e., attitude), and behavioral characteristic (i.e., actual use) toward Fintech services users. This study conducted an online survey of people who have experienced using Fintech services. And the data of the collected Fintech services users was analyzed using structural equation model software (i.e., SMART PLS 2.0 M3). The results of the empirical analysis show the relationships between innovation, relative advantage, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and actual use of Fintech service users. The results of this study provide useful information to improve the practical use of Fintech services users in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment.
