The rapid advancement of technology has significantly changed the banking industry, allowing for quicker transactions, improved customer experiences, and worldwide connectivity. However, this technological progress has also opened the door to complex banking crimes, including cyberattacks, data breaches, and identity theft. This research examines the intricate challenges that come with integrating technology in banking, focusing on how financial institutions manage the delicate balance between innovation and security. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the study incorporates case studies, regulatory frameworks, and technological safeguards to identify vulnerabilities in digital banking systems. It also evaluates the effectiveness of current legal and institutional measures in tackling emerging threats. The findings indicate that while technology-driven solutions can provide potential defenses, shortcomings in cross-border collaboration and adaptive regulation impede effective crime prevention. Recommendations stress the importance of  unified global policies, advanced threat detection systems, and ongoing staff training to address these evolving challenge

Summary As a global challenge, organised crime is increasingly threatening the safety and security of citizens. Despite the real-world impact, there is an apparent disconnection between international human rights laws and policies, and responses to transnational organized crime. Even though the regulatory frameworks may have different objectives and scopes, human rights and responses to organised crime are not concepts at odds. Without aiming to provide an exhaustive or comprehensive account of all human rights issues deriving from the workings of organised crime, this briefing note identifies four areas that justify greater attention to the fundamental rights of natural persons, and convergence in the human rights and crime agendas. It draws on a review of Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC)’s research and programming, and the author’s own experience as a lawyer working on organised crime issues for the past five years.
