Examining the Impact of Customers’ Awareness, Risk and Trust in M-Banking Adoption

Abstract

Mobile banking services have been a significant breakthrough in the electronic banking system and have many potential demands for online banking services to connect with consumers. Although there has been a rapid expansion of information technology (IT) in banking, which offers multiple opportunities in the global market, massive growth has not been seen in India’s m-banking adoption. Several kinds of research on m-banking adoption have been conducted in various countries, and it has been observed that India has great potential for m-banking. Nonetheless, users are not quite sure about its use for a few reasons. The present study extends the applicability of technology acceptance model (TAM) constructs in connection with customers’ awareness, perceived risk and perceived trust to investigate the user’s behavioural intention of m-banking adoption. The authors tested the proposed framework by using regression analysis in SPSS 23 and collected a sample of 311 mobile banking users by using convenience sampling. In support of the previous studies, findings revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, customer awareness, perceived risk and perceived trust significantly adopted m-banking services in the Indian context.
