Purpose
This study aims to explore the effect of cybercrime on the banking sector and also analyse using balance score approach, the focus of existing literature relating to cybercrime in the banking sector.
Design/methodology/approach
In this study, a balance scorecard (BSC) was applied to analyse the effect of cybercrime in the banking sector. This was focussed on two out of the four perspectives of BSC. To achieve this, secondary data was used, that is, data from existing research.
Findings
The outcome of this study indicated that the focus of most of the existing research reviewed regarding cybercrime is on financial perspective of the banking sector and customer perception towards the banking services, that is, the implication of cybercrime on customer perception and financial services.
Originality/value
The novelties of this work lie in the fact that the use of the BSC for the analysis of the cybercrime has not been sufficiently highlighted by the existing literature. Furthermore, the existing research have focussed more on the effect of cybercrime from the financial perspective of the banking sector and customer perception towards the banking services, that is, the implication of cybercrime on customer perception and financial services. In addition, to the effect of cybercrime from the financial and customer perspectives, this work gives an insight to other perspectives such as the internal processes and learning and growth aspects.
