Background

Mobile Banking

Mobile banking is one of the value- added mobile commerce applications (Lee et al., 2003; Varshney & Veter, 2002). Mobile banking services allow customers to check account balances, transfer funds between accounts and order for electronic bill payments. Mobile banking can be popular due to its always-on functionality and the option to bank virtually any time and anywhere. The mobile phone especially supports the provision of time-critical information, like for trading in stocks or if of the acute need for money transfer or request of account balance. The key players for mobile financial applications include banks and other financial institutions such as credit-card companies, mobile operators and retailers (Mallat et al., 2004) and the customer considers banks as an outstanding trustful service provider compared to other financial institutions (Mallat &Tuunainen, 2008).

Existing research (Gefen, 2000; Gefen et al., 2003; Jarvenpaa et al., 2000; Gefen & Straub, 2003; Pavlou, 2003) has identified that trust plays a major role to attract new customers as well as retaining the existing customers to any business.
