An analysis of factors affecting mobile banking adoption

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model that explains the most important factors affecting mobile banking adoption for Lebanese banking customers. Design/methodology/approach Based on the data collected through a survey, structural equations modeling and path analysis were utilized to test the hypotheses. In total, 320 questionnaires were collected from Lebanese customers. Findings The results show that digital literacy, resistance to change, perceived risk, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness were found to be the main variables affecting users’ attitudes toward adoption of mobile banking, whereas awareness and compatibility showed no significant impact on adoption. In addition, both subjective norms and personal innovativeness influenced users’ adoption moderated the relationships between usefulness attitude and ease of use attitude. Originality/value The study fills a gap in the literature by exploring e-readiness influence on adoption through testing the variable “digital literacy” and by examining the effect of the frequency of branch visits on the intention to adopt mobile banking. Social and individual variables, such as social influence and personal innovativeness, which were rarely examined in past studies, are employed in this research. All of our respondents were actual bank account holders.

Furthermore, the research of Nedungadi et al (2020) stated that digital literacy is important so people can access financial services safely.…”

How the Covid-19 Crisis Is Affecting Customers’ Intention to Use Islamic Fintech Services: Evidence From Indonesia

Adoption of Mobile Banking by Microentrepreneurs at the Bottom of the Pyramid

“…However, in the study of individual behavior, TPB is much broader than the TAM for predicting intention and behavior (Ajzen, 1991;Davis, 1989). TPB's constructs have been tested by different researchers to predict different individuals' adoption of mobile banking, i.e., bank users, university students, young people, bank customers (Priya, Gandhi, and Shaikh, 2018;Elhajjar and Ouaida, 2019;Danyali, 2018;Shankar and Kumari, 2016;Narteh, Mahmoud, and Amoh, 2017;Lu, Tzeng, Cheng, and Hsu, 2015;Verma, and Sinha, 2018;Woodson, Alcantara, and Do Nascimento,2019). According to Baishya and Samalia (2019), studies on technology adoption at the BOP are scarce.…”
