Mobile banking (m-banking) has provided new opportunities to banks to engage more effectively with customers. With increasing smartphone penetration and affordable internet connectivity, both urban and rural India are witness to an increase in the number of mobile internet users. A majority of the recent studies on m-banking are focused on developed countries. Among Indian studies, a majority of them focus on internet banking, not many exist that explore the factors which influence user attitude (ATT) and intentions to adopt m-banking. This article aims to propose a scale to study m-banking adoption and validate it in the Indian context. An exploratory study was conducted through a literature review, a focus group discussions and some personal interviews. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was carried out which resulted in seven factors labelled as ease of use (EOU), ATT, lifestyle (LS), convenience (CON), efficiency (EFF), trust (TR) and behavioural intention (BI). The measurement model was estimated using confirmatory factor analysis to test the reliability and validity of the scale. The study improves the technology acceptance model (TAM) by adding TR, CON and EFF as relevant factors. The scale also integrates LS to the existing factors and focuses on both socio-technical aspects. The scale can be used by banks to assess how consumers perceive their m-banking service and identify gap areas and opportunities for developing viable m-banking services.

Self-service banking technology (SSBT) allow customers to perform services on their own without direct assistance from staff. This study focuses on factors affecting the value of adopting self-Service banking technology (SSBT) among customers. It is believed that the successful usage of self-service banking technology will be increasingly advantageous for all (banks & customers). This chapter's purpose is an extension to the technology acceptance model (TAM) and views customer responses to technology as an integrated part of SSBT. The sample used for this study was selected from users of banks in both Libya and Australia, with a total size of 141 respondents. Reliability and validity of the data collection instrument was tested using Cronbach Alpha. Descriptive and regression tests for data analysis were used. The domains in which subjects were tested were “ease of use of SSBT”, “Usefulness of SSBT”, “Quality of SSBT”, “privacy of information” and “Trust of SSBT”.

Mobile banking services are widely adopted in developed and developing countries, while their adoption by Malaysian consumers is relatively low. The effective adoption of mobile banking mostly depends on consumers. This study’s objective was to examine the factors that influence Malaysian customers’ behavioral intention toward mobile banking. A detailed literature review was conducted in order to identify the critical factors that affect mobile banking users. The research model was based on the Technology Acceptance Model, investigating the additionally perceived risk. Primary data were collected from 384 generation Y bank customers. Structure equation modeling through Smart-PLS was used for data analysis. Results revealed that consumers’ behavioral intention was significantly and positively influenced by perceived usefulness and ease of use, while a significant negative relationship was found between consumers’ behavioral intention and perceived risk. The findings also revealed a mediating relationship of attitude between perceived usefulness, ease of use and risk, and behavioral intention to use mobile banking. The study provides appropriate guidelines to Malaysian banks and mobile banking application developers for the effective implementation and design of mobile banking services.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine if high branch fees, branch dissatisfaction as well as any previous experience of Greek banking customers with other banking technologies (i.e. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs)) have any impact on the probability of internet banking adoption. Further, the authors comment on the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of Greek banking customers, which effect the decision to adopt internet banking services. Design/methodology/approach – The authors employed the logistic regression model to examine the probability of Greek customers adopting internet banking based on certain demographic characteristics but also due to high branch fees, any dissatisfaction with branch services or due to previous experience of electronic banking technologies (ATMs). Findings – After estimating a logistic model, the authors report that branch dissatisfaction and high branch fees have no impact to the internet banking adoption in Greece, therefore Greek customers prefer to visit branches and are willing to pay high fees for the transactions. However, the authors find that ATM users are more likely to adopt internet banking services in Greece. Research limitations/implications – The authors should employ a technology acceptance model, to test the effect of perceived ease-of-use, perceived usefulness and technology self-efficacy of customers on the probability of e-banking adoption. The authors should also examine other hypotheses using recent data from other European countries and compare the results with those from Greece. Practical implications – The findings are strongly recommended to Greek bank managers. Originality/value – The research is primarily motivated by the lack of similar studies to explain empirically the characteristics of Greek bank customers which affect the adoption of internet banking.

Purpose This paper aims to examine consumers’ adoption of mobile technology to facilitate their banking services and activities, and to investigate the factors influencing their adoption and engagement. Design/methodology/approach An online survey is used to test proposed relationships between factors and consumers’ mobile banking adoption. Structural equation modeling is performed to analyze consumers’ intentions toward mobile banking. Findings Traditional technology acceptance model factors – perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use – are identified as effective factors in influencing consumers to adopt mobile technology for facilitating banking services. Moreover, technology safety concerns, including reliability and privacy factors, are found to play an important role in motivating consumers to embrace mobile banking. The “fun” feature of the technology and consumers’ innovativeness characteristics are considered important in influencing mobile banking adoption. Trust in the banks has its predominant role in mobile technology adoption for banking services. Practical implications A bank gaining trust from its clients is key to active adoption of mobile banking technology. Bankers are advised to pay more attention to reliability and privacy features when designing and promoting mobile banking technology to consumers. Moreover, advertisements to bank clients should stress the “fun” aspects of the mobile banking apps to attract them to the use of mobile banking technology. Originality/value This paper investigates the factors influencing bank consumers to adopting mobile banking apps to facilitate their banking services. Nine key factors in the technology adoption area are examined to provide a comprehensive understanding of bank clients’ use of mobile banking apps, which advances the understanding of mobile technology applied in the banking industry in the literature.

Purpose The purpose of this research is to provide insights into the determinants of businesses’ internet banking acceptance. It attempts to address a research need for extending the technology acceptance model (TAM) by adding contextual variables. As trust has never failed to be a significant predictor in e-commerce research, this study proposes to integrate trust into the TAM to get a better understanding of business e-banking adoption. Design/methodology/approach A research model reflecting the effect of e-trust dimensions on TAM constructs is proposed. Based on relevant literature, a questionnaire was designed and administrated to 102 business managers through a Web survey. A structural modelling analysis was applied. Findings The results confirm the dimensions and relations of the TAM. Moreover, two main trust dimensions – integrity and credibility – positively influence perceived usefulness and exert both a direct and an indirect positive effect on attitude towards business’ internet banking adoption and behavioural intention. Practical implications The managerial implications of the study are that Tunisian banks should consider influencing internet banking behaviour not only by developing ease of use and usefulness beliefs, but also by promoting professional credibility and integrity. They should, also, try to attract business users by focusing on and communicating the integrity and the credibility of the bank and highlight the ways in which these concerns have been ensured. Originality/value This study supplies the valuable integration of trust to the TAM. It reveals that extended TAM could be used to provide a solid theoretical foundation of business’ acceptance of internet banking. In this study, trust construct is measured through a multidimensional scale including four dimensions (benevolence, credibility, integrity and orientation to resolve problems). Moreover, this study focused on an emergent country, Tunisia, whereas most studies in the literature concentrate on research cases of developed countries.

Although factors influencing adoption of technology-enabled banking has been studied by many researchers, the construct perceived usefulness had been analysed as a single construct. Moreover, the measurement of perceived usefulness by researchers does not discuss sub-dimensions or sub-factors, which could contribute to perceived usefulness associated with a particular technological innovation. This article empirically examines the influence of various factors on user attitude and intention towards adopting mobile banking. Based on focus-group discussion and personal interview with bankers, technology acceptance model (TAM) and studies on technology adoption, we propose a mobile banking adoption model in Indian context. We also examine the impact of demographics on user attitude and intention. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on a sample of 367 respondents resulted in seven factors which were found to be reliable. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated significant convergent and discriminant validity. Logistic regression equation was used to estimate the degree of correct prediction of user attitude and intention towards mobile banking adoption. Perceived trust, perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived lifestyle compatibility, perceived efficiency and perceived convenience significantly impacted user attitude. However, user attitude was not found to differ significantly between demographic variables. Similarly, perceived trust, PEOU, perceived lifestyle compatibility and perceived efficiency were found to positively and significantly affect user intention. User intention was found to significantly vary across demographic groups based on gender and household income.
