With the rapid advancement of blockchain technology, SMEs face an opportunity to leverage decentralized ledger systems to address longstanding challenges related to financial transparency. This study aims to assess the implications of blockchain adoption for SMEs operating in the Jordanian context, focusing on its potential to improve accountability, trust, and efficiency in financial operations. Drawing on quantitative research methods, this paper examines the current state of financial transparency using a structural equation modeling approach of 215 surveys. The findings indicated that there is a positive impact of block-chain technology on enhancing financial transparency. The findings of this research contribute to both academic understanding and practical implications for policymakers, regulators, and SMEs in Jordan seeking to enhance financial transparency through blockchain technology. By shedding light on the positive impact of blockchain on financial transparency in the Jordanian SME sector, this paper aims to inform strategic decision-making and stimulate further research in this emerging field. Ultimately, it underscores the transformative potential of block-chain technology in promoting accountability, trust, and eco-nomic development among SMEs in Jordan and beyond.

The study aimed to examine the impact of artificial intelligence on the development of electronic financial services. The population of the study involves employees from Jordanian commercial banks distributed across branches and the general administration. The researcher used a survey as the study instrument to collect data from the study sample, with 356 surveys distributed via a link. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The results showed an impact of using artificial intelligence on the development of electronic financial services in Jordanian commercial banks. One of the prominent recommendations was for the management of commercial banks to keep pace with the advancements and developments in artificial intelligence and the expert systems environment by providing advanced operating and storage systems to keep up with the developments in electronic financial services.
