### Finite-dimensional Hilbert C*-modules

#### Abstract

In this paper we obtain a characterization of finite-dimensional Hilbert C*-modules. It is known that those are the modules for which both underlying C*-algebras are finite-dimensional. We show that such modules can be described by a certain property of bounded sequences of their elements. It turns out that similar property leads to another characterization of Hilbert C*-modules over C*-algebras of compact operators.
