(2009)2.1.2 Dis-advantage of Internet BankingAL-Sukkar and Hasan (2005) and Singh (2004) had identify the disadvantages of develop internet banking. They express clients have to pay confirming cost as some of the internet banking dusts charge money on browsing connectivity on personal computer. Moreover, cash are not visible(prenominal) through internet. Customers are unable to withdraw cash o r bushel cash by using internet banking. They also emphasize on auspices c one timerns, the issue of security concerns may delay the clients acceptance of internet banking.Before using internet banking, appli arseholet required to go through some procedure in one of the bank branch, especially the clients lack to untied a joint account. Some of the clients not familiar to internet browsing, they have to go through tutorials to familiarize with the seafaring tools. Unfortunately, clients require re-familiarizing the navigation tools to access their account once banks update and upgrade their online system.Last and not least, trustworthiness is the most difficult yet most all- big(a) issue face by clients. They always wonder whether the transaction or payments have been proceeding to other account accurately.2.2 Aspect that Influence Consumer intelligence towards Internet BankingThe financial institutions have been use the Internet as an selection way in order to provide op erate and interact with their customers. The electronic banking (e-banking) is no exception. Three of the most serious characteristics of financial services to occur e-banking are High availability, Scalability, and warranter. (Antovski and LJ, 2001). According to them, high availability also can define in reliability, availability and serviceability. The e-banking are design for easy and nonstop service to customers.Yibin and MU (2003) also stated the three improvements of the system infrastructure which are to build-up the reporting services for online transaction, improve the e-payment system, and improve the telecommunications infrastructure and other forms of electronic transaction. Factors such as the speed of transactions or the cost of using the Internet have little impact on an individuals final decision. later setting up correct system infrastructure through Web, the new deli really channel can highly recommended to clients by giving see on security, privacy and tru st of Web system to minimize barrier. The adoption of electronic banking forces consumers to consider concerns near password integrity, privacy, info encryption, hacking, and the protection of personal information (Benamati and Serva, 2007).The following research provided the analysis on opposite expression that will effect customer perception towards internet banking.2.2.1 Electronic Security (E-Security)Electronic security is a tool or process intentional to restrict entry or pr notwithstandingt unauthorized access to a systems information assets or is a risk-management (Thomas et al., 2002). Mueller (2001) stated that e-security prevents the hacker and others from accessing customers information, security drop number or credit card number. Thomas et al. (2002) highlighted e-security adds value to a naked network.As Internet is a new distribution channel for banking system, it require to providing sufficient security to maintain trustworthiness of clients towards the interne t. Any disadvantageous of security in Internet usage may give-up the ghost to increase fear and desperate among the clients and bar them to use the banking system as their buck private information universe hacked.Thomas et al. (2002) stated that although technology offer a new distribution channel for financial institution but it creates opportunities for crimes to be committed very quickly. A criminal can use the tools getable on the Web to hack database on internet and steal personal hidden identities in seconds. This is why e-security must be taken very seriously. However, Raigaga (2000) stated that some banker has delay the online banking service due to the security concern.Consumer perceptions of security are measure through the operations and processes of encryption, protection, verification and authentication. The mechanisms of encryption, digital authentication, firewalls, protection, filtering routers, and personal identification numbers influence the internet customers perception towards security and talent increase the confidence and trust of consumer.E-security is one of the important factors to be stressed. around of the customers refuse to use internet banking as the alternative way to deliver on transaction and payment because they afraid of losing their private information and data on hacker.2.2.2 TrustworthinessTrust is considered as a strategic protean in current marketing (Selnes, 1998). Meanwhile, the development of internet banking brings new challenges, this lead to an increase of motivation in bank to provide a better service. Bank image will might slightly improve if clients able to enjoy better service. Bank image and consumer trust are meaningful influence the individual behavior (Ratnasingham, 1998).Bank image and customer trust are significantly affect individual behavior and their level of perception (Ratnasingham, 1998 Rexha et al., 2003 Lehu, 2001 Ba, 2001). Since the online banking give a higher level of risk to the cli ents, so Gefen et al. (2003) stated that trust is an important aspect to take note when doing internet transaction because it determines the nature of businesses. The issue of trust arises when risk is involved.Trust is the main factor being concern because bank and clients are physically separated from each other and there is a large number of suspicious about the e-security over the Internet. Generally, customers distrust and worries about the reliability of internet banking even the e-security system is good.Apart from this, Chellappa (2002) also emphasize on trust will be favorably influence with the increase in perceptions of security in EC (Electronic commerce) transactions. Furthermore, clients lack of confidence on the e-security is the main obstacle prevent e-banking is being developed advance. As William Pitt, the eighteenth century British statesman once said,confidence is a plant of slow growth.Nexhmi et al. (2003) believe that trust and commitment are cardinal relati onal mediators in the development of customers within the banking industry. According to them satisfaction will have a role in development but a more important element is to maintain close bank-customer relationship. boilersuit customer satisfaction with the bank will be directly cerebrate to the level of trust within the relationship.2.3 Consumer Satisfaction and Loyalty Towards Internet Banking.For offline environments, it is super acid knowledge that spirit of services and products is a key determinant of customer satisfaction and customer loyalty (Caruana, 2002 Cronin and Taylor, 1992 Kelley and Davis, 1994 Parasuraman et al., 1988). The quality of services delivered through a Web site has become a more significant victor factor than low prices or being the scratch line mover in the market space (Mahajan et al., 2002 Reibstein, 2002 Shankar et al., 2003).Research by Patricio et al. (2003) goes one step further to measure service quality of various banking services through d ifferent delivery channels, including the electronic and traditional channels. They have found that perceived service quality with one delivery channel has an impact on how some other channel is perceived.Moreover, Fassnacht and Kose (2007) found that high electronic service quality in web-based services had an important role in expression overall customer trust for the service provider. Furthermore, Jean-Michel (2003) notes that customer is most important in designing, providing and evaluating the level of service quality. Customers past experience with the service is one of the factors that influence them to use Electronic banking for transaction.According to Vohra (2002), electronic banking makes it easier for customers to compare banks services and products. This can increase competition among banks and allow banks to enter into new markets by overcoming resi carriage and thus expand their geographical boundary. Banks operate websites through which customers are not only able to inquire about account balances, interest, and substitution rates but also conduct a range of transactions.Shailey et al. (2003) so notes that understanding customer requirements and meeting their demands and expectations is becoming a challenge. However, acceptance of this new technology has not yet been found to be equal in all parts of the globe indicating a lack of a mutual generalizability. Ramayah et al. (2002) suggest that users will eventually lose interest in using Internet banking if they feel that it is not useful to use Internet banking even though the system is rather easy to handle.One of the most important discussions was carried out by Machauer and Morgner (2001), who defined four clusters of German bank consumers. These were transaction oriented, generally interested, service oriented and technology opposed groups. In another study in Singapore, Liao and Cheung (2002) found that individual expectations regarding accuracy, security, transaction speed, user-frien dliness, user involvement, and convenience were the most important quality attributes in the perceived usefulness of Internet-based ebanking. Among these, the first five determined the willingness of consumers to use of Internet based banking. According to Zorayda commiseration B. Andam (2003), 42% of respondents said they had access to computers and 7% said they had access to the Internet. Therefore, it can be perceived that this large variance has been found due to security obstacle in Asia and the emerging markets. This may be one of the superior reasons why people do not initiate online banking or open investment accounts. Then, we might draw our concerns on perceived service quality and indeed, access to high quality services and products is another crucial concern. Apparently, there may also be a preference for personal contacts with the banks.customer satisfaction and customerretention are increasingly developing into key success factors in e-banking.http//www.mpexpert.com/i mages/stories/storydoc/Measuring_the_quality_of_ebanking_portals.pdfSathye (1999) investigatedthe adoption of online banking by Australian consumersand argued that the intention of Internet banking inAustralia is significantly influenced by variables of systeminsecurity, awareness of service and its benefits, ease ofuse, and availability of infrastructureMeanwhile the importance ofthe Internet to users banking needs relates to theadvantages that devolve to the users of the technology inquestion. As adoption and the usage of the Internetbanking services increases, a certain maturation pointwill be reached in the following years (Menp, 2006).Academicians also take a different stance in the theoriesthey adopt when exploring consumer adoption ofelectronic banking (Laforet and Li, 2005).This study shows that only protect transaction, have significant impact on consumers perception about e-banking security, followed by service quality and regulatory frame work issues. This study offers an shrewdness into e-banking in Malaysia.http//www.academicjournals.org/ajbm/pdf/pdf2009/Jun/Haqua%20et%20al..pdfAfrican Journal of Business Management Vol.3 (6), pp. 248-259, June 2009Available online at http//www.academicjournals.org/AJBMISSN 1993-8233 2009 Academic Journals
