<![CDATA[Green banking has become a strategic imperative for financial institutions worldwide, but emerging markets face a unique challenge: balancing sustainability commitments with customer trust in data security. This study examines how privacy protection strengthens the relationship between green banking practices and customer satisfaction in Indonesia's digital banking sector.

The implications go beyond regulatory compliance to reveal how banks can differentiate themselves competitively through integrated sustainability and privacy governance. This "trust-based" model is increasingly essential for emerging markets facing digital transformation alongside environmental commitments. Our findings suggest that customer satisfaction serves as a key driver of long-term behavioural change towards green finance adoption, indicating that business profitability and societal environmental goals are complementary rather than contradictory objectives for banks in emerging markets.]]>
