Mobile banking, or banks providing banking services through mobile phones, has received a positive response since its launch. However, the penetration of Mobile Banking is still low because of several reasons. In this study, the different factors that affect the adoption of Mobile Banking services have been analyzed. Behaviour of 120 customers, who use different mobile banking services, was studied to ascertain, what motivates/discourages them to use mobile banking services. The output of Exploratory Factor Analysis was taken as an input to Hypothesis Testing using Multiple regression. The study revealed that Perceived usefulness, Perceived Relative advantage, Perceived risk, Social impact and Perceived cost impact the adoption of mobile banking in India. From a practical implication point of view, this study can encourage banks and prompt them to take necessary care while implementing mobile banking, because mobile banking adoption parameters has an impact on adoption of the technology. Based on this result, banks will have to make an extra effort to ensure that they design a mobile banking platform that is free from errors and electronic threats and portrays usefulness and relative advantage of using the technology.

THE FACTORS INFLUENCING CUSTOMER USAGE OF MOBILE BANKING SERVICES IN JORDAN

TJPRC, 2014

This current study seeks to determine the factors that affect the acceptance of the use of mobile banking services from the viewpoint of customers. These factors are divided into two groups in terms of their impact; the first represents the motivating factors that drive customers to use mobile banking services, it includes five factors: (Assurance, ease of use, communication, speed of transaction, pursuance), the second are the factors impeding the use of mobile banking services, which represent obstacles that prevent the use of mobile banking services, it also includes five factors: (Personal desires, knowledge, habit, resistance to innovations, experience). A study model has been designed, containing the (motivating and impeding) factors, in addition to intention, attitude, perceived usefulness, and finally the usage of mobile banking. Consequently, the study model is made up of six dimensions with six developed hypotheses one per each corresponding dimension, with the exception of the sixth hypothesis which has been divided into two sub- hypotheses. Six hypotheses were developed based on the dimensions of the study as well as the relevant literature. In addition, a seventh hypothesis was added to measure the correlation between the different constraints of the study model. In order to collect the data required for examining the hypotheses and reaching conclusions, a questionnaire, consisting of (19) questions covering the dimensions and hypothesis of the study was designed. The design and development of this questionnaire was based on an initial pretested survey distributed to a sample consisting of (56) customers of Jordan Banks. The initial survey was also pretested and evaluated by a panel of marketing banking experts and IT specialists in order to assess the items of each constraint, the questionnaire was then distributed to customers of commercial banks in Amman. Data collection resulted in 36 usable surreys for subsequent analysis. Overall, the findings provided support for the model of the study. All the hypotheses regarding the impact of the factors included in the study on usage of mobile banking were supported. All the hypotheses of the study have been accepted, indicating the positive impact of the motivating factors on the usage of mobile banking services, and the negative impact of the impeding factors on the usage of mobile banking services. At the same time, the study confirms that there is a variable correlation for all constructs (the dimensions of the study),with the result that "the degree of correlation between the motivating factors of mobile banking services usage is greater than the degree of correlation between impeding factors”. This result is acceptable as the members of the study sample use mobile banking services.

The International Journal of Digital Accounting Research, 2010

The aim of this study is to examine the factors which influence customers to adopt mobile banking. Going through the previous literature, four determinant factors have been identified. Individual variable is evaluated using a 5-point Likert-scale. Self-administered quantitative questionnaires were distributed, targeting the respondents in the Gwalior region which falls in central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, using the primary data collection method. A quantitative research technique was utilized for this exploration. A pilot investigation of 20 respondents was led to confirm the reliability of the questionnaire. Data was analysed using regression tests. The outcomes of this investigation brought the conclusion that perceived utility, perceived convenience, and perceived trust have a positive impact on the behavioural intention to adopt mobile banking whereas perceived financial costs were found to be insignificant. The paper concludes with a discussion of the exploration results and draws out a few implications for future research.

Factors Affecting Customers Adoption of Mobile Banking Services

The Journal of Internet Banking and Commerce, 2016

With the rapid advances in technology and changing demographics and life-style of people, the traditional branch banking is giving way to electronic banking (e-banking) and more recently mobile banking (m-banking). However, numbers suggest that the rate of acceptance of technology is quite low. In India, as quoted by an RBI report (Report of the Technical Committee on Mobile Banking, 2014), 64 banks have commenced mobile banking operations and there are 22 million active mobile banking users, which is roughly 5% of the total bank accounts. Lack of awareness, security concerns and technical issues are considered as the major reasons behind customer resistance to mobile banking services. Hence, it is pertinent for the service providers to understand and address the needs of customers so as to optimize their mobile banking experience. The current study aims at describing the usage patterns of mobile banking customers and identifying the factors which influence their usage of m-banking....

The implementation of m-banking requires a large investment, but does not ensure its success. Technology acceptance model (TAM) is a general model that explains why a technology is acceptable to users. This study aims to examine the effect of perceived usefulness, ease of use and technology readiness on the use of m-banking. The population in this study are m-banking users in Purwokerto. The sample of this study used accidental sampling. Data analysis used PLS-SEM analysis technique. Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it is known that perceived usefulness and ease of use have no effect on the use of m-banking. Respondents who are mostly Generation Z have a high perception of the usefulness and ease of use of m-banking. However, the high perception does not affect the use of m-banking. Meanwhile, technology readiness affects the use of mbanking.
