The purpose of the work is to study the impact of digital technologies on the legal regime for the protection of personal data in banking, to develop proposals for improving the legislation in this area, to identify the risks of unauthorized access to personal data in the context of digitalization. Methods: the methodological framework for the study consists of: the methods of scientific analysis, logical analysis and the dialectical method. Results: the result of the research is the development of proposals for improving the regulatory framework in the field of personal data protection in banking in the context of the active development of digital technologies. Conclusions: the conclusion is made about the advantages and disadvantages of using blockchain in the banking sector, the need to develop a regulatory framework that regulates the activities of entities using such technologies.
