Applying Logistic Regression to E-Banking Usage in Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana

Abstract

Purpose: The main focus of this paper is to ascertain whether customer's decision to use e-banking is influenced by socioeconomic classifications. It further seeks to identify the kinds of e-banking services provided to customers, and also examines the most frequently patronized e-banking service. Methodology/approach:In all, 241customers of three state-owned retail banks from Kumasi Metropolis, one of the most urbanized metropolis in Ghana, were used as sample for the survey. A well-structured questionnaire was used to obtain relevant information from the customers. Responses gathered from the customers were mainly analyzed using a binary logistic regression.Findings: Internet banking, ATM, E-Zwich and mobile phone banking were the commonly identified e-banking services offered by the banks. Among such services, ATM was the most frequently patronized service whereas internet banking recorded very low patronage. From the chi-squared test of association, customer's operational bank and occupational status were found to have significantly informed the decision to use e-banking. With respect to the logit analysis, customer's operational bank, occupational status and monthly income were significant socioeconomic classification variables that informed customer's decision to use e-banking. Practical implications:This paper may serve as scientific basis for banks to consider customers' socioeconomic classifications, in designing any e-banking marketing strategies in targeting customers in urban communities in Ghana. Originality/value:With the use of a logit regression, this paper has identified occupational status, customer's bank and monthly income as significant socioeconomic variables that inform a Ghanaian customer's decision to use e-banking.

Czech Consumers’ Preference for Organic Products in Online Grocery Stores during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…The model contains categorical variables, and therefore methods for processing categorical data were used to determine the consumer profile of organic food buyers, i.e., logistic regression, analysis of contingency tables and correspondence analysis. These methods are used in the analysis of customer preferences and consumer behavior research [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ]. The results were presented by means of correspondence maps.…”

The pillars determining financial inclusion among SMEs in Egypt: service awareness, access and usage metrics and macroeconomic policies

“…After the PCA, a logistic regression with categorical variables was conducted to provide the best fit to a linear regression model on the factors causing the highest possible variability on the level of financial inclusion (as proposed by Archer et al [ 4 ]). The advantage of a logistic regression is that it accounts for more than one category of both the dependent and independent variables through the maximum likelihood estimation and works well with interval and categorical data [ 2 ].…”

“…The mean difference between mobile banking adopter and non adopter merchant customers shows statistically significant at 10 % significance level (t= -5.4181), and indicating that as customers income increases a probability of customer to be mobile banking adopter also increases. High income clients and those who have current account and computer and internet literate are more likely to use Mobile-banking services (Poon, 2008;Annin K, Adjepong OM, Senya SS, 2013).
