Bearing that in mind, this paper measures and analyzes the profitability dynamics of the banking sector in Serbia using FLMAW-MARCOS methods. The empirical results obtained by applying the given methodology show that the five best years of achieved profitability in the banking sector in Serbia in the period 2008 - 2022 are in order: 2018, 2017, 2008, 2019 and 2022. The worst profitability was achieved in 2013. Recently, the profitability of the banking sector in Serbia has improved. It was influenced by the economic climate, management of human resources, assets, capital, sales of banking products, costs, and profits. The digitalization of the entire business plays a significant role in this. The impact of the Covid-19 corona virus pandemic, as well as the global energy crisis, is significant. In order to improve the profitability of the banking sector in Serbia, it is necessary to manage human resources, assets, capital, sales, costs and profits as efficiently as possible and adapt to changes in the economic climate.","PeriodicalId":53365,"journal":{"name":"Bankarstvo","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71205036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to investigate whether there is interdependence in the movement of the weighted average cost of capital and profitability indicators of the selected group of companies in the stock market indices SASX-30 and BIRS. The research results show that the WACC ranges from a minimum of 5.11% to a maximum of 10.87%. Likewise, the research results show that there is a negative connection and correlation between WACC on the one hand and a selected group of profitability indicators on the other hand.","PeriodicalId":53365,"journal":{"name":"Bankarstvo","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71205916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cyberattacks continue to increase, and the banking sector can be particularly vulnerable, especially in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The subject of the paper is to analyze the views of respondents of users of banking services in the Republic of Serbia on the problem of cyber threats as a risk factor in the banking sector. The main conclusion is that the largest number of respondents, as much as 70% of them, are not concerned or not very concerned about security in the banking services' sector. This indicates the existence of a high degree of trust in the security of banking services and the activities that banks undertake to protect data and deposited financial assets. In addition, banks should still emphasize preventive activities to reduce the risks based on cyber threats to an acceptably low level. Some of the preventive activities can be engaging in the education of internal auditors and increasing the effectiveness of information security audits.","PeriodicalId":53365,"journal":{"name":"Bankarstvo","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71204896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bearing in mind that financial institutions in developing countries face many problems related to the implementation of mobile banking and that it is not as widespread as expected, it is very important to understand the factors that influence the adoption of mobile banking, as well as the trust of users in these services. Therefore, this paper aims to determine through empirical research the effects of security, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use on trust and how the trust of mobile banking users affects their satisfaction, affective attachment, and intention to use. It was found that security and perceived ease of use have statistically significant positive effects on trust, then that trust has a positive effect on satisfaction, and satisfaction on affective commitment and intention to use.

The results of the research on the efficiency of banks in Serbia based on the MABAC method show that Banca Intesa ad Beograd is in first place.
