Ledger of Trust: Investigating Blockchain’s Impact on Credit Business
Efficiency and Security
Abstract
The integration of blockchain technology in financial sectors has
emerged as a topic of burgeoning interest, with credit business being a
pivotal area of exploration. This study aims to investigate the impact
of blockchain technology on the operational efficiency and security of
credit business processes. Employing a mixed-methods research design,
data was collected from 15 credit institutions that have adopted
blockchain technology, alongside a control group of 15 credit
institutions operating on traditional digital platforms. Key performance
indicators (KPIs) such as transaction speed, error rate, fraud
incidence, and operational costs were analyzed. The findings reveal a
significant enhancement in operational efficiency and security in credit
institutions leveraging blockchain technology. Blockchain adoption was
associated with a 70 % reduction in fraudulent activities, a 50 %
increase in transaction speed, and a 40 % reduction in operational
costs. Furthermore, the decentralized nature of blockchain significantly
enhanced transparency and trust among stakeholders, fostering a more
robust and resilient credit business ecosystem. The study underscores
the transformative potential of blockchain technology in redefining the
operational paradigms of credit businesses, thereby contributing to the
broader discourse on blockchain’s applicability in financial sectors.
Future research is recommended to explore the long-term sustainability
and regulatory implications of blockchain integration in credit business
operations.
