Digital transformation has reshaped banking services by creating an increasingly integrated payment ecosystem involving banks, institutional customers, digital platforms, and third-party service providers. This study aims to analyze banking operational resilience in managing transaction risks within digital payment ecosystems, particularly transaction-status inconsistencies, timeouts, reconciliation, third-party risks, and institutional trust. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to provide an in-depth understanding of operational processes and the experiences of parties involved in digital payment transactions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation and analyzed thematically through coding, categorization, theme identification, and interpretation. The findings indicate that operational risk does not arise solely from total system failure but may emerge at points of interaction between interconnected systems when transaction status differs from actual financial finality. Reconciliation therefore serves as an early-warning mechanism for detecting exceptions before they develop into material financial exposures. Operational resilience is further strengthened through transaction monitoring, clear escalation procedures, effective third-party risk management, cross-party coordination, and transparent communication. The study concludes that mature digital banking transformation requires more than technological reliability; it requires an integrated capacity to detect disruptions, resolve anomalies, recover services, learn from incidents, and preserve institutional trust across the digital payment ecosystem effectively and sustainably.
