Abstract
The study verifies customers’ acceptance as well as knowledge and awareness of the new business model of a bank – a digital-only bank. Using Computer Assisted Web Interviews, data were collected through a questionnaire from 515 adults in Poland. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient significance test were used to verify the hypotheses. Our analysis shows that there is a relationship between knowledge and awareness, as well as innovativeness, and the use of the services of a digital-only bank. The higher the knowledge and awareness as well as the innovativeness, the greater the intention to use the services of a digital-only bank. The findings of this study provide important guidelines regarding the strategy of development for banks operating under an innovative business model.
