Our study examines the impact of digital bank transactions on the performance of Indian banks. The study aims to identify the digital mode of transaction parameters that influence financial and operating performance and reduce bank costs. A panel data set has been prepared for 2011 to 2020, considering 32 public and private banks. On the prima facie, the share of public sector banks has declined in the digital mode of transactions on the counterpart of private sector banks. It’s evidenced that a 1% increase in the value of Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and National Electronic Fund Transactions (NEFT) causes a rise of 0.03% and 0.08% in the business per employee, respectively. Indeed, a change in the RTGS and NEFT transaction further explains CASA to Deposit ratio (0.016% and 0.0078%). Also, a change in RTGS shows a prominent effect on the advances (0.7%). Credit card transactions at ATMs and POS have negatively impacted the cost of funds. Our study proposes two practical implications: First, acceleration in promoting RTGS-based transactions is required; consequently, it will enhance the bank’s performance. Secondly, banks should facilitate credit-based digital transactions to lessen the cost of funds.
