The International Journal of Banking, Finance and Insurance Technologies (IJBFIT) publishes theoretical and empirical research papers spanning all the major research fields in finance and banking including new advancements in the space of financial regulations, financial innovation, and the enabling technology and methodology. IJBFIT aims to provide a hub of innovation in the ecosystem of business organizations, research institutions, and individual thought leaders for the increasing flow of scholarly research concerning financial institutions and the money and capital markets within which they function. The Journal welcomes new empirical, applied, and policy oriented research along the end-to-end value chain from theoretical developments to their implementation, and to the transformation from research to intellectual property and commercialization, in banking and other domestic and international financial institutions and markets. The driving objective is to connect the talents and achievers from all communities in the ecosystem that formulate the value chain. The results are manifest and measured in improvement of communications between, and within, the academic and other research communities, business organizations, policymakers and regulators and operational decision-makers at financial institutions - private and public, national, and international, and their associated parties.

The Journal is one of the new journals pivoting to financial innovation, with approximately 500 new submissions per year, mainly in the following areas: Asset Management; Asset Pricing; Banking (Efficiency, Regulation, Risk Management, Solvency); Behavioural Finance; Capital Structure; Corporate Finance; Corporate Governance; Derivative Pricing and Hedging; Distribution Forecasting with Financial Applications; Entrepreneurial Finance; Empirical Finance; Financial Economics; Financial Markets (Alternative, Bonds, Currency, Commodity, Derivatives, Equity, Energy, Real Estate); FinTech; Fund Management; General Equilibrium Models; High-Frequency Trading; Intermediation; International Finance; Hedge Funds; Investments; Liquidity; Market Efficiency; Market Microstructure; Mergers and Acquisitions; Networks; Performance Analysis; Political Risk; Portfolio Optimization; Regulation of Financial Markets and Institutions; Risk Management and Analysis; Systemic Risk; Term Structure Models; Venture Capital.
