Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to drastically change banking from customer service and fraud detection to data-driven conclusion making in the years to come. There are various applications of LLMs in banking, as the light on in this study; from enhanced personalized interactions with customers, real-time detection of fraudulent transactions, and making strategic decisions that optimize profits. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and LLMs improves chatbots, virtual assistants, and automated financial advisory services, resulting in a smooth and smart customer experience. Additionally, such models improve fraud detection systems immensely as they can be used to spot exceptions, lessen risks, and enhance security systems based on pattern identification and exception detection. The research emphasizes not only the appreciation of LLMs in predictive analytics, credit score evaluation, and regulatory compliance, creating efficiencies in financial operation. Nevertheless, their enormous potential is not without challenges, including ethical considerations, regulatory compliance, data privacy, and resource-intensive computational requirements. The paper discusses challenges and opportunities concerning LLMs deployment in banking, providing insight into research tracks and industry adoption strategies. The findings add to the existing innovations in AI-based banking; which argue for responsible use of AI to provide a secure, efficient, and user centric financial service.
