The study examined the determinant of mobile banking adoption among bank customers in Ghana,
with specific emphasis on Access Bank. In line with literature, the study applies theoretical frameworks
which have been developed from existing literatures on innovation and adoption to collect
responses from one hundred and fifty (150) sampled customers of Access Bank in order to investigate
the determinants of mobile banking adoption in the Ghanaian banking industry. The results
from the study revealed that, each factor measured had some level of significant effect on consumer
intention to adopt and use mobile banking services provided by Access Bank. Additionally,
the study unveiled that, perceived credibility and perceived financial cost were the major setback
with regards to customers adoption of mobile banking services provided by Access Bank, and as a
result of this, Ghanaians have formed a negative behavioural pattern towards mobile banking. In
addition, the findings showed that, perceived credibility and perceived financial cost have a
stronger effect on consumer intention to adopt and use mobile banking service than perceived usefulness
and perceived ease of use. It was, therefore, recommended that banks in Ghana should
create more awareness through personal interaction with customers, develop quality initiatives in
order to build customer’s confidence. Equally, banks should also review the cost of their mobile
banking service.

Mobile banking has grown in Nigeria in recent years as banks offer SMS banking, funds transfers, bill payments, and other services via mobile phones. However, the paper identifies several challenges to the operation of mobile banking in Nigeria, including insecure environments, interoperability issues between different mobile devices, unstable power and network infrastructure, and low financial literacy among many Nigerians. The paper proposes that Nigerian banks adopt a "non-bank led model" of mobile banking to make services more transformational and accessible to the unbanked, rather than just adding a new channel for existing customers. Future research is needed to address challenges like security, scalability, and expanding financial inclusion through mobile banking in Nigeria.

Mobile banking has grown in Nigeria in recent years as banks offer SMS banking, funds transfers, bill payments, and other services via mobile phones. However, the paper identifies several challenges to the operation of mobile banking in Nigeria, including insecure environments, interoperability issues between different mobile devices, unstable power and network infrastructure, and low financial literacy among many Nigerians. The paper proposes that Nigerian banks adopt a "non-bank led model" of mobile banking to make services more transformational and accessible to the unbanked, rather than just adding a new channel for existing customers. Future research is needed to address challenges like security, scalability, and expanding financial inclusion through mobile banking in Nigeria.

In order to reduce cash handling cost of banks amongst other objectives, the Central Bank of Nigeria introduced the ‘cashless policy’. The success of this policy hinges on the adoption of alternative payment systems one of which is mobile banking. Thus it is imperative for policy makers and other relevant stakeholders to anticipate and deal with inhibitions surrounding the adoption of mobile banking by bank customers in the country. This study investigates the determinants of mobile banking adoption in Nigeria using a modified version of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This incorporates Perceived Risk, Facilitating Conditions and Demographic Characteristics (Age, Gender, Educational Qualification and Income) to Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease-of-Use as determinants of Mobile Banking Adoption. We also propose that this relationship is mediated by attitude towards mobile banking adoption. A total of 250 bank customers from the Lagos area were selected and a structured questionnaire was designed and copies distributed to them. Data was analysed using multiple regression and computed using SPSS 20.0 computer application. Results show that Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease-of-Use, perceived Risk, Facilitating Conditions, Age, Educational Qualifications and Income significantly determine Mobile Banking Adoption. However, the relationship between gender and Mobile Banking Adoption is not significant. The outcome of this study has some implications to m-banking policy formulation and implementation. It also throws more light into what should be done to improve mbanking adoption rate in Nigeria
It is evident that financial services industry has been undergoing a profound transformation in Nigeria. Rapid changes in the banking environment, increased competition by new players from non-banking sector, product innovations, globalization and technological advancement-all these have led to a market situation in which the battle for consumers is intense. We look at the prospect and challenges of mobile banking services in Nigeria using four selected’ banks as case study, reviewed prior literatures on mobile banking, analyze the different factors that impact the market, and give direction for future research on this emerging field. A framework of four contingency and five competitive factors were proposed to facilitate the analysis. Factors affecting mobile services in Nigeria such interoperability, unstable power supply, network problems etc. were identified. Finally, we recommended that non–bank led model of mobile banking be adopted by Nigeria banks to make the services transformational instead of additives as is currently being practiced.

Analysis on Challenges Small Business Face in using the MBanking/Payment Serv...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Mobile banking services are at the present
increasingly used to accomplish economic transactions by the
business people who would have followed long processes to
complete their transaction deals. Despite the importance of
mobile banking, several studies indicate that the industry still
faces challenges including lack of awareness among the
business parties and customers. Though large populations of
Kenyans have embraced the new technology in most of their
transactions, the contribution of the new technology on small
scale enterprises has received very little attention from the
scholars. The main purpose of this study was to identifying
and rank the challenges faced by the residents as they try to
embrace the mobile banking services. The study adopted a
survey design where data was collected from selected
respondents. The population of the study comprises of 730
small business enterprises. Simple random sampling technique
was used to select 88 small business enterprises based on 95%
confidence level and accepting 5% margin of error as
recommended for most business and social researches.
Primary data was collected from the respondents. Data was
analyzed by using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS)
and it was presented in the form of graphs, tables and charts.
Analysis of the data revealed that the highest challenge faced
by the business owners was the cost of transaction with a
cumulative percentage of 51.3 as compared with other
challenges.
Agent banking is a model that allows banks to extend their services through authorized third-party agents. It has grown in popularity globally as a way to improve access to financial services, especially in areas with low inclusion rates. In Nigeria, agent banking has expanded rapidly since 2013 when regulations were introduced and has helped increase inclusion from 63% in 2018 to 64.1% in 2020, though more progress is still needed. Statistics show agent banking has grown transactions significantly and provides convenient services to both customers and agents. While challenges remain, agent banking appears poised to continue playing a major role in the future of banking in Nigeria by extending access in currently underserved rural and urban areas.

There has been tremendous growth in mobile banking penetration in many countries in the developed and
developing economies and most interestingly in a number of developing countries such as Nigeria. Yet there are numbers of opportunities and threats in the mobile banking systems. However the major threat of mobile banking is its non-adoption by the banking customers. This research focuses on the perceived barriers to mobile banking adoption in Nigeria as a developing economy. The study adopted an exploratory qualitative method and this was conducted among banking customers spread across three regions of North, West and East of Nigeria. The basis of participants’ selection was being active customers of the Nigerian banks. Findings indicate that there is intention to adopt the mobile banking services; unfortunately, the
intentions cannot be translated into action due mainly to lack of trust on issues such as the delivery
channels/technology, communication infrastructures, government policies, etc. Findings further revealed
that majority of respondents do not use internet and mobile banking services, due to several identified
barriers. There is however a preference for the traditional banking approaches as opposed to the mobile
banking services. The study recommends that banks and other financial institutions embark on massive
awareness campaign.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect

1. Introduction
The world has become a global village and almost everything is being done through technology. The growth of
information technology (IT) in the world is becoming a crucial factor in the future development of businesses
and industries around the world. The traditional method of banking is gradually paving way for modern method
of banking in the 21st
century. Traditional banking has being in existence for many decades now and is the most
common method of carrying out bank transactions in different countries, both developed and undeveloped [1].
Over the past few years now, there has been continuous development of information technology (IT) to help
smoothen business operations around the world especially in the banking industry where the use of Automated
Teller Machine (ATM) was developed to make withdrawing of money easier for customers. The development of
internet banking followed and eventually the emergence of mobile phone banking. Both the developed and un-
developed countries have benefited and still benefiting from this new technology. Customer’s satisfaction holds
the potential for increasing an organization’s customer base, increase the use of more volatile customer mix and
increase the firm’s reputation [2] [3]. An organization must know what their customers want and must be able to
satisfy their demands. The use of mobile banking in Ghana is not well pronounced like other developed coun-
tries of the world and the banking industry should have a larger part to play in this. Today, the incorporation of
IT have change many ways businesses are been carried out in all over the world, and it has subsequently changed
the way businesses are been conducted and managed [4]. Today in Africa, Ghana is regarded as one of the fast-
est growing telecommunication nation. The fast growth of mobile phones in a developing economy such as
Ghana which is most likely have caused the increase in the number of mobile users to exceed the numbers of
banks [5]. The mobile commerce involves such applications like mobile banking, mobile payment, mobile mar-
keting [6] [7]. Mobile banking involves mini-statements and checking of account history; alerts on account ac-
tivity or passing of set thresholds; monitoring of term deposits; access to card statements; mutual funds/equity
statements; insurance policy management; pension plan management; access to loan statements; status on cheque,
stop payment on cheque; ordering check books; balance checking in the account; PIN provision, change of PIN
and reminder over the internet; domestic and international fund transfers; recent transactions; due date of pay-
ment; micro-payment handling; mobile recharging; commercial payment processing; bill payment processing;
peer to peer payments; and deposit at banking agent [8]. Mobile banking is allowing customers to receive a text
message showing their account balance. It is been claimed that mobile banking has spread around the world and
it has brought about positive change from the customers perception, could this be concluded about Ghana as
well? In the case of Ghana the subject matter has gain little or no attention in literature, therefore, this research
will bridge the gap. It is in this light that the researchers seek to examine mobile banking adoption as a commu-
nication tool on customer behaviour in the banking industry with specific focus on Access Bank Ghana Limited.
1.1. Statement of the Problem
Research in the field of mobile banking and the analysis of variables connected, has almost entirely been done in
the developed countries. However, in their analysis of innovation in developing countries, the authors in [9]
pointed out the need to investigate the concept of mobile banking adoption and consumer behaviour in the de-
veloping countries such as Ghana. Generally, it is believed that, mobile banking has brought about a positive
shift in customers perception but could this be true about Ghana? Again, much attention has not been given to
the subject matter and there is a lack of empirical research on the adoption of mobile banking in Ghana, so this
research aims to bridge the gap in the subject matter.
1.2. Objective of the Study
The main objective of the study is to examine the determinants of mobile banking adoption as a communication
in the banking industry with specific emphasis on the Access Bank Ghana Limited.
Further, the study seeks to:
1) Investigate consumer’s knowledge about mobile banking in Access Bank and its comparison with the cur-
rent adoption rate;
2) Ascertain the factors influencing consumer behaviour adoption of mobile banking in Access Bank;
3) To examine how customers perceive mobile banking initiative to be functioning in Access Bank.
3. A. G. Cudjoe et al.

1.3. Research Questions
In the quest to achieve the research objectives, the research team seeks to find answers to the following ques-
tions:
1) What is the level of consumer’s knowledge about mobile banking in Access Bank and its comparison with
the current adoption rate?
2) What are the factors influencing consumer behaviour adoption of mobile banking in Access Bank?
3) How do customers perceive mobile banking initiative to be functioning at Access Bank?
1.4. Significance of the Study
The findings from this research work are expected to contribute to the adoption literature in the area of mobile
banking and in the developing nations. More specifically, to bridge the gap that exists for Ghana by serving as a
starting point for further research. The findings from this research study can be used by banks to improve mobile
banking facilities and to identify those factors that can either contribute to the failure or success of the mobile
banking services and this could be further used for decision making. To academia, the research would serve as a
source of academic reference for further studies.
2. Literature Review
This section seeks to analyze relevant documentation and findings that are essential to improve the research and
its capacity to analyze the concerns it seek to accomplish, that is, the theoretical literature and the empirical lite-
rature. The theoretical literature presents and attempts to explain theories that relate to the subject matter that is
mobile banking adoption. The empirical literature describes what has been practically observed and validated
objectively in relation to the subject matter.
2.1. Theoretical Literature
2.1.1. Mobile Banking in the Banking Sector
Mobile Banking allows consumers to perform banking services (i.e. alerts, banking transactions and balance
enquiries) with the use of their mobile devices [10]. It is very important to understand what banking business is
all about. Banks are businesses that deal in money according to the author in [11], therefore banking involves
any service given and received from the bank, people open accounts with banks to save money and other people
go to the bank to borrow money [12]. Mobile banking could be defined as a facility which provides banking ser-
vices such as balance enquiry, funds transfer, bill payment, and transaction history via a user’s mobile phone
[13]. The author in [14] defines mobile banking as an occurrence “when customers access a bank’s networks
using cellular phones, pagers, personal digital assistants, or similar devices through telecommunication wireless
networks”. Mobile banking (m-banking) could also be defined as an application of mobile commerce that
enables customers to bank virtually at any convenient time and place [15]. The authors in [16] [17] believes that
“a cornerstone of m-commerce is built by m-banking”; many banks are taking advantage of this innovation in
order to increase customer satisfaction, manage cost, increase profits and bring positive transformation of pay-
ment system in the economy [18]. In 2004, Finland-based Nordea bank experiences a high growth of 30% from
the utilization of transaction-based mobile financial services [19]. Mobile Banking as the term connotes is
banking “on the move” with the aid of a mobile telecommunication device according to the author in [20], this
can be used for a different purpose at anytime and anywhere. Mobile Banking (M-Banking) allows customers to
receive short message (SMS) through their phone, wireless application protocol (WAP) and Java enables phone
support other banking activities using GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) such as direct payments confirma-
tion and funds transfer [21]. From research 30 per cent of households in the United Kingdom use their mobile
phones to perform banking operations [21]. Research also shows that, internet has only a penetration rate of 6 %
in a population of 140 million in Nigeria but mobile technology is close to 50 percent penetration with prospects
for growth according to the author in [20]. Mobile devices show a promising way to the future which can reach
larger population of customers irrespective of their location and this can lead to customer’s loyalty. Many re-
searchers have given proof of the advantages that can be derived from using mobile banking services [10],
which consumers can derive when there is willing to adopt the facility of the services. Over the years there has
been several challenges which the banks have been facing over poor information technology system and the new

technological development such as the introduction of Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS),
banks can fully take advantage of this new platform for realistic mobile applications which have been made
available [16] [17].
2.1.2. Mobile Banking Adoption
Much research has focus on developed countries and, innovation and adoption have attracted so much attention
in various literatures, and this has generated many models and theories which are believed to affect the adoption
of an innovation. These theories have been used in many research and is been used in developed countries. Parts
of the innovation studied are mobile banking, electronic banking [22] [23]. Such studies are very few in devel-
oping countries such as Ghana [24] [25].
1) Theories and Model of Innovation Adoption
Many theories have been developed to study the framework of innovation adoption, however, with regards to
present studies theories such as innovation diffusion theory, technology acceptance model (TAM), and theory of
reasoned action (TRA) have been widely used.
a) Innovation Diffusion Theory
The author in [43] defines diffusion as the process of communicating an innovation through certain channels
over a certain period of time among the group of a social system. He also defines the communication as a
process where people create and share information among one another to reach a mutual understanding. Again,
the author in [5] argued that, there are four stages in innovation diffusion process: invention, diffusion (or com-
munication) through the social system, time and consequences. The easiness of use and newness (in terms of
persuasion, knowledge and the decision to adopt) of an innovation can determine the way an individual will re-
spond to an innovation. Some factors have been highlighted to be a determinant of adoption of an innovation
and they are: complexity, relative advantage and compatibility. This is believed that, an innovation with relative
advantage, with less complexity and compatible will be adopted easily and faster by an individual. According to
the author in [5], relative advantage and compatibility are very important factors when discussing the issue of
innovation adoption pattern and this believe is said to have lack concern for social economic consequences [26].
The original diffusion research was carried out in the early 1900’s by a French sociologist Gabriel Trade who
brought about the original S-shaped of diffusion curve [27].
b) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was developed by the author in [27] in his doctoral thesis at the MIT
Sloan School of Management. The author suggested that, users’ motivation can be in three factors: perceived
ease of use, perceived usefulness and attitude toward using the system. Davis proposed that the readiness of a
user to use or not to use a new technology or information system is determined by his or her attitude, and this at-
titude is influenced by two beliefs which are perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This model is the
most widely used and widely accepted model among researchers due to its usefulness according to the authors in
[28] [29] and its usage has captured the attention of IS community attested by the authors in [30]. Though the
model has captured the attention of Information Systems community in predicting user’s acceptance of technol-
ogies, the authors in [31] [32] believes that it has its weaknesses and cannot be fully used to understand factors
that affect users acceptance [33]. As a result of this many other models of extension have been suggested by the
authors in [1] [23]. The perceived credibility, perceived financial cost and perceived self-efficacy has been adopted
based on the literature, as an extension of Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate and under-
stand the behavioural intention of users of mobile bankers [1].
c) Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA)
The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) was developed in 1967 and was later revised and expanded in the
middle 1970s by Ajzen and Fishbein. The authors in [35]-[37] proposed that, a person’s actual behaviour can be
determined by looking at his formal intention together with the beliefs that the person would have for the given
behavior. The intention that a person has before the actual behaviour is referred to the behavioural intention of a
person and this could be defined as a measure of one’s intention to perform the behavior. Theory of Reasoned
Action according to Fishbein and Ajzen, also suggest that, a person’s behavioural intention could be determined
by his attitude towards the actual behaviour together with the subjective norm that is associated with the beha-
viour [35]. The theories have been used to study human behavior and develop appropriate interventions in the
1980s.
5. A. G. Cudjoe et al.

2.1.3. Consumer Behaviour towards Mobile Banking
The authors in [38] define consumer behaviour as the acts of decision-making which directly involve the ob-
taining and using need-satisfying products and services, which includes the decision-making process which pre-
cedes and determines these acts. According to the author in [39], consumers are people who use products and
services and who make payment for those things which are bought. There are two kinds of consumers according
to the authors in [40]; we have personal and business (organizational consumers). The buying of equipment,
products, services, etc. just to facilitate their business is called business consumers while personal consumers are
those individuals who buy goods and services for their own consumption. The act of obtaining and using eco-
nomic goods and services is also referred to as consumer behaviour according to the authors in [41]. Consumers
involve in decision making process when they are making purchases either online or in store and banks can
study these customers profile to have a better understanding of who their customers are, which will help them
know the factors influence their purchasing behaviour and the challenges face during an online transaction.
There are several predetermining factors that influence consumer attitude towards mobile banking and researchers
have found out that motivation, demography and individual acceptance of new innovation or technology are
some of the major causes. In developed countries, consumer’s attitude may be influence by previous experience
in related technology and it has help to increase the adoption rate due to previous experience but, this may be
slightly different in the developing countries were technology is just taking its stand. According the authors in
[42], many bank customers have to consider the issue of hacking, the integrity of the password been used, data
encryption and personal protection of information when it comes to adoption of electronic banking. This and
many more are the challenges faced by bank customers and this has either affected their decision positively or
negatively.
2.1.4. Modes of Operation by Providers
A wide range of mobile/branchless banking ideas are currently been established now. Three models have been
identified and developed, and they are primarily different from one another based on who established the rela-
tionship (Banks or the Non-Bank/Telecommunication Company) of account opening, deposit or withdrawer,
borrowing, etc., with the customers. There are differences in the Bank-Led Model, Bank Focused Model and Non-
Bank-Led Model [5] [43].
1) Bank-Led Model
This is when customers perform transaction with the use of their phones, which is different, from the branch-
base with the help of a trade partners. This is an alternative to conventional branch-based banking. This method
could be created by joint venture between banks and telecommunication companies. This system allows cus-
tomers account relationship to be established and managed by the bank.
2) Bank-Focused Model
The bank focus model is when a traditional banks decides to use the low-cost delivery channels, which is a
non-traditional banking system to provide banking services to its customers such as the use of M-Banking facili-
ties, automatic teller machine (ATMs), internet banking, etc., The bank-focus model is additive in nature and is
an extension of the conventional branch-based banking [43].
3) Non Bank-Led Model
The non-bank-led does not get involve unless required to do so when the need arises as a safe keeper of sur-
plus funds, and this allows the telecommunication company handle all the functions. However, mobile banking
services that are focused on low income earners of the population size which are regularly found in the rural area
will need to reply on retail outlets. A lot of telecommunications agents operate through their airtime resellers while
banks muses bakeries, pharmacies, etc. which can be found in some countries such as Colombia.
2.1.5. Technologies Employed to Provide Mobile Banking Services
Mobile banking services could be used through more than one channel such short messaging service/messaging
and application download (client-based) [44].
1) SMS-Short Messaging Service
This is where the customers communicate with the bank through their mobile devices by sending an SMS
(short messaging service) to the bank. The short messaging service (SMS) works in two ways, and it can be ei-
ther a pull mode or a push mode. In the push mode, the mobile customer send a text message to the bank which
contains a service command with a predefined request code to the bank’s specific number. The bank also reply
6. A. G. Cudjoe et al.
6
with SMS containing the specific information requested from the bank while the pull mode is when the banks
sends a text message to the subscriber (customer) to inform the customer about certain transaction that have just
taken place over the account. The message could be in the form of an MMS (multimedia message service) or
SMS (short message service) they both work similarly even though the use of SMS is more popular [44]. This is
commonly used in Nigeria by mobile banking customers.
2) Client-Based
This method requires the customers to use software installation, and this will serve as a user interface that can
allow customers to use the mobile device while offline to access some basic transactions before going online.
Typing details before connecting to the internet could reduce cost. This client based application is particularly
useful because it allows customers to stay offline and while preparing transaction such as entry of account de-
tails and afterwards the transmission is made by sending out the data, this banking process conducted offline re-
duces online connection time and cost [44].
3) Browser-Based
Brower-based customer needs to be connected to the internet to use this service. The interface is generated
from the server which is transported to mobile device, and this allows the content to be displayed through the
browser. This method is extremely fast depending on the server that the customer is connected to but one its
disadvantages is that, it requires the subscriber (customer) to stay online all through the transaction process and
could lead to higher cost for the customers [44].
2.1.6. Theoretical Framework for the Study
With regards to existing theories and ideas on the literature examined, it is evidence that there are certain factors
responsible for the adoption of mobile banking. Base on the existing theories and ideas in literature, the research
team formulated a comprehensive research framework (Figure 1).
1) Awareness
The level of information consumers have on mobile banking is one of the major factors impacting the adop-
tion and usage of online banking according to the author in [45]. The adoption rate of an innovation could be
determined by level of awareness of the customers [9] [45]. The use of mobile banking services is new to many
customers and the banks need to create enough awareness to capture the attention of the customers.
2) Perceived Usefulness
The author in [37] defines Perceived usefulness as the degree to which an individual believes that using a par-
ticular system would enhance his or her job performance. Hence, it is believed that an innovation perceived to
be useful is more likely to be adopted and customers will take advantage of the innovation such as mobile bank-
ing which they find useful to them [1]. Perceived usefulness is one of the two most important factors affecting
the acceptance of new technologies or information system.
Figure 1. Proposed research model.

3) Perceived Ease of Use
The author in [37] further defines perceived ease of use as the degree to which an individual believes that us-
ing a particular system or innovation would be free of physical and mental effort. It is believed that a customer
will adopt an innovation or a particular system if it is easy to learn and use. An innovation perceived to be diffi-
cult to use by customers will be less adopted according to the author in [46].
According to the authors in the author in [63], ease of use of an innovation is one the most important charac-
teristics for adoption of an innovation. Adoption of mobile banking is more likely to occur if the process of
usage is easy for customers.
4) Compatibility
It is believed that the adoption of mobile banking service would be made possible if it’s compatible with the
customer’s bank transaction needs [23]. Compatibility of an innovation is more likely to be adopted, if it is
compatible with job responsibilities, customer’s needs and value system according to the author in [28].
5) Social Influence
The adoption of mobile banking facilities would be possible if individual behavioural intention of a customer
is influenced by what people around believe about it [36]. Social influence such as the opinions of friends, par-
ents, relatives is said to affect the customer’s intention to adopt and use mobile facilities according to the author
in [64].
6) Perceived Credibility
The customer’s intention to use an innovation or mobile device can be influenced by security and privacy [1].
According to the author in [14] security is a major problem facing customers whenever they make online trans-
action. In a similar study conducted on internet users by the authors in [48], it was found that 81% of users are
concerned about privacy when they are online. In a research conducted by the authors in [49] it was found that,
consumers are always reluctant to share their information online due to fear that their financial life will be open
to the internet universe. Gaining the confidence of customers is of paramount important to service providers and
if not well managed could discourage users and could encourage negative spread of information which could
pullback intending customers.
7) Perceived Self-Efficacy
Self-efficacy is defined as the judgments of how well one can execute courses of action which is required in
dealing with prospective situations. It is believed that there exist positive relationship between technological
experience and the effects which it has on computer usage.
8) Perceived Financial Cost
This believes show that the cost of using mobile banking facilities could influence the intention to use mobile
banking service [1] [30]. Innovation is always associated with many costs such as operation cost, utilization cost,
investment cost [50]. The cost of using an innovation is very important especially when it comes to the use of
mobile device in mobile banking and the price of using such technology should be affordable by the customers
[51]. By lowering the cost of using an innovation such as mobile banking, customers who are price conscious
will be more likely to adopt the innovation.
2.2. Empirical Literature
The author in [23] conducted a research in order to evaluate the factors influencing the adoption of mobile
banking services in the innovation theory and, to also, formulate a model to describe the behaviour pattern of
users. Out of the 800 customers included in the study 710 responses were retrieved. Simple random sampling
technique was adopted for the selection of customers included in the study. Results were analyzed by the use of
SPSS and presented in the tables and charts. In this research, it was found that access to internet facilities, per-
ceived risk, compatibility issue, relative advantage, complexity, observability and interest to technological ad-
vancement all this affect the consumer adoption decision of mobile banking users. Additionally, the author in
[52] carried out a research to examine the online mobile banking in China. Purposive sampling technique was
adapted to a sample of five hundred (500) customers who transact their banking business online. Analysis was
done quantitatively through a regression model. Base on this research it was established that lack of understand-
ing and awareness of m-banking benefits are the main factors hindering the adoption of mobile banking usage in
China though perceived risk, culture and technological skills are also barriers to online banking in China. The
author in [53] looked at the factors which are responsible for mobile banking adoption and its usage across dif-
8. A. G. Cudjoe et al.

ferent countries by focusing on low income earners and the low literate. The researcher adapted the purposive
and convenience sampling technique. Using the SPSS to generate results, the research focused on non-bank
model which uses the agents in its operation. It was observed that variations along parameters such household
type, services adopted, frequency of usage, ease of use and pace of uptake. Factors which are responsible in-
cludes pricing, trust, reliability on informal channels, transaction turnaround time, interface design (mobile
phone), needs, agent proximity, pricing, and level of human intervention (agent’s support). The author in [1]
carried out a research in order to understand user’s behavioural intention to use mobile banking service based on
the extension of technology acceptance model (TAM). It was observed that the financial cost, perceived useful-
ness, self-efficacy, credibility and perceived ease of use were the factors influencing the behavioural intention to
use mobile banking. In this finding, it was also observed that credibility was a major issue, which has a stronger
influence on user’s behavioural intention than the technology acceptance model (TAM) of perceived ease of use
and perceived usefulness. The authors in [54] carried out a research to analyze the adoption usage of mobile
banking of the student willing to use mobile banking in the future. Questionnaires were administered to 250
respondents in two universities. The researcher used the quota sampling technique to select respondents. The
researchers adopted both the qualitative and quantitative technique in analyzing results obtained from respon-
dents. From the analysis, it was observed that attitude and expectation were the factors which are useful to pre-
dict the wiliness of the under graduate student to adopt mobile banking in the future. In an empirical study con-
ducted in Taiwan by the authors in [55] revealed the factors responsible for the hindrance and the adoption of
mobile banking facilities among university students in Taiwan. Three hundred (300) students were selected for
the study using the stratified sampling technique. Results were analysed with the aid of SPSS specifically re-
gression model. The research found out that, security and cost of connection to the internet was a hindrance to
the adoption of mobile banking facilities among students in Taiwan. Conducted by the authors in [47] their
study integrated the unified theory of use and acceptance of technology (UTAUT) and task technology fit (TTF)
in explaining the adoption behaviour of mobile banking user. Results obtained from the questionnaires adminis-
tered for the study was analysed using the regression model. From the investigation of the research, they found
social influence, performance and task technology fit to be the factors which have a significant impact on the
consumer adoption behaviour of mobile banking. A study conducted in Singapore by the authors in [56] ex-
amined the factors that could influence the adoption of mobile banking usage among the current users of internet
banking facilities considering gender as a supporting variable. Respondents were selected purposively and anal-
ysis was done using the regression model. According to this research social risk, perceived usefulness and social
influence are the most important factors that influence consumer intention to use and adopt mobile banking fa-
cilities among male and the influence on each factors also differs among male users.
3. Methodology
This section looks at the methods used to achieve the objectives of the study. It highlights research design, the
sources of data and the methods that were used in the data collection for the research. It also identifies the target
population for the study, the sample size and frame, sampling technique and how data obtained from the study
were analyzed.
3.1. Research Design
This research is an explanatory and a cross-sectional study that is mainly aimed at examining mobile banking
adoption as a communication tool on customer behaviour in the banking industry at Access Bank. Explanatory
research seeks to establish relationship that exists between variables, that is, to identify how one variable affects
the other; it also seeks to provide an explanation to the causes and/or effects of one or more variables [57].
Again, it’s cross-sectional because it focuses on a particular phenomenon at a specific period of time as opposed
to longitudinal research which focuses on the phenomenon successive time interval [57]. The study used struc-
tured questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument to gather information. Data analysis was done qua-
litatively.
3.2. Population and Sampling
3.2.1. Target Population
The population of interest for the study comprised all customers of Access Bank in Ghana.
9. A. G. Cudjoe et al.
9
3.2.2. Sample Frame
The sample frame for the study was:
• All customers of Access Bank who have been patronizing the services of the bank for at least one year.
3.2.3. Sample Size
The author in [50] indicated that, the size of the sample and the way in which it is selected will definitely have
implication for the confidence you can have in your data and the extent to which you can generalize. Owing to
the fact that, the population of all customers of Access Bank in the Accra Metropolis was too large and was un-
known to the researchers at the time of the study, one hundred and fifty (150) sampled customers were selected
from three branches of the bank, with 50 each selected specifically from branches at Madina, Airport and Achi-
mota. These branches were selected due to the fact that, they were the busiest branches. The choice of this sam-
ple size was based on purposive sampling.
3.2.4. Sampling Techniques
Purposive sampling technique as a non-probability sampling was used as the technique for the research. This
method was selected to enable the researchers to target specific customers of Access Bank who were in position
to provide the information needed for the study.
3.3. Data Collection Instruments
3.3.1. Primary Data Collection
The research team designed questionnaire for customers of the sampled Access Bank branches in the Accra me-
tropolis. Both closed and opened ended questionnaires were used for the study. The close-ended questions were
developed on a five point Likert scales ranging from 5 (strongly agree) to 1 (strongly disagree).
3.3.2. Secondary Information
Secondary sources of data collection were obtained for additional information. The study relied on both unpub-
lished and published data such as, articles from journals and the internet which is related to the topic. Sources of
all secondary data were duly acknowledged at the reference section of the research.
3.4. Analysis of Data
Descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution was used to assess the demographic profile of the respon-
dents to make the analysis more meaningful, clear and easily interpretable. Descriptive statistics allow the re-
searchers to present the data acquired in a structured, accurate and summarized manner. The analysis of data was
done with the help of the statistical software of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Version 20).
3.5. Validity and Reliability
To ensure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire used for the collection of primary data, prior to the real
administration of the questionnaire, a pre-testing of the questionnaire using thirty (30) respondents from the
sample size was undertaken within the study area to find out whether the instrument would meet the needed
responses to ascertain it reliability.
4. Results and Discussion
The main purpose of this section is to present the analysis and discussion of the findings of the study. The analysis
is done in line with the objectives. The first part of the chapter presents the demographic characteristics of the
respondents. Secondly, the mobile banking usage of respondents was also discussed. The last part discussed the
determinants of mobile banking usage of customers in Access Bank Ghana Limited.
4.1. Respondents Demographic Characteristics
Questionnaires were distributed to bank customers of Access Bank. The demographic details showed the gender,
age, occupation and these were shown in the tables.
10. A. G. Cudjoe et al.
10
4.1.1. Gender of Respondents
As reflected in Table 1 above, ninety three (93) of the entire respondents were males and fifty seven (57) were
females. This indicated that there were more male respondents than female.
4.1.2. Age Distribution of Respondents
Table 2 below unveiled the age groups of the respondents included in the study. Three (3) respondents fell
within the lowest age group which was below 20 years while the majority of the respondents (64) were between
the ages of 21 - 30, with forty six (46) respondents indicating 31 to 40 as their age group range. Another set of
thirty (30) respondents fell within the age group between 41 to 50 and only seven (7) of the respondents were
over 51 age group. The study showed that, respondents between the ages of 21 - 30 were in the dominant group.
4.1.3. Occupation
The occupation distribution of the respondents included in the study deferred from one another. The study re-
vealed that, the highest respondents were office worker with ninety-eight (98) respondents, followed by the stu-
dents with thirty-two (32) of respondents, the remaining twenty (20) were business persons (Table 3).
4.2. Level of Consumer Knowledge about Mobile Banking and Its Comparison with
Current Adoption Rate of Customers of Access Bank
As shown in Table 4, majority of the customers of Access Bank included in the study, thus, 66.7% (100) have

heard of mobile banking facility as well as the benefits they could derive from using this innovation. Customers
indicated that Access Bank has used different means of advertisement such as radio, bill boards, newspapers and
even TV in conveying their messages to their customers but it is rather unfortunate that innovation is yet to be
well embraced by the banks customers.
The high rate of consumer knowledge about mobile banking indicated that, Access Bank is making possible
effort to inform their customers about mobile banking services. Though a lot of people claim to have heard of
mobile banking services, when compared to the rate of adoption of current users of the services this was rather
very low. And this results obtained by the researchers is similar to the finding of the authors in [22] in their re-
search on internet banking in Nigeria. This shows that, consumer’s attitude towards mobile banking in Access
Bank is low with the way the innovation is embraced.
4.3. Factors Influencing Consumer Adoption of Mobile Banking Service at Access Bank
In finding out the level of consumer knowledge about mobile banking services provided by Access Bank, the
investigation conducted showed that, the level of consumer knowledge is high (Table 5). From responses ga-
thered through the questionnaires administered, the researchers found out that, One hundred and twenty-five
(125) of the respondents constituting the majority, acknowledged that awareness about mobile banking services
will contribute to their decision to use the service. However, only twenty-five (25) of the respondents disagreed
to the fact that awareness of the mobile banking services has no link to their usage decision of the service.
4.3.1. Usefulness of Mobile Banking Service and Its Impact on Usage
From the results above (Table 6), responses elicited from the Access Bank customers sampled for the study un-
veiled that, majority of them (114) confirmed that, the usefulness of mobile banking service is very important to
their decision to use the service while the thirty-six (36) said, the usefulness of the self-service was not likely to
influence their decision to use it.
These respondents were skeptical about the reliability of the usefulness of mobile banking service having
considered the issue of security.
This research finding is also consistent with that of the authors in [1] [23], after conducting a regression analysis
from results obtain from 300 customers of thirty (30) banks in Nigeria found out that, the issue of security of a
technology has an impact on the perceived usefulness of customers.

4.3.2. Simplicity of Mobile Banking Service and Its Impact on Usage
From the descriptive analysis above (Table 7), the results obtained from the sampled customers of Access Bank
included in the study showed that, majority (119) confirmed that ease of use is important for their decision to
adopt mobile banking service. These respondents acknowledged that, their perception about the ease of use of
this device helped their decision to use this service having been informed about its advantages and disadvantage
while thirty-one (31) of the respondents strongly testified against the statement.
Findings from this study are consistent with that of the authors in [1] finding on behavioural intention to use
mobile banking and also with the findings of the authors in [24] on electronic banking in Nigeria. The researchers
concluded that, when an innovation is easy to use consumers will adopt it. This finding therefore shows that,
perceived ease of use has a positive effect on consumer intention to adopt and use mobile banking services.
4.3.3. Compatibility of Mobile Banking Service and Its Impact on Usage
In measuring the compatibility of customers against mobile banking service usage at Access Bank, the results
showed that, majority of the respondents, thus, one hundred and eleven (111) believed that, the services pro-
vided through their banks using a mobile device must be compatible with their important transaction needs be-
fore they can use the self-service. This is therefore saying that, when an innovation is not compatible with an in-
dividual’s need then, there might be no need to use it. Nevertheless, another set of respondents summing up to
thirty-nine (39) testified against the issue being discussed (Table 8).
Results obtained from this finding are similar to the findings of the authors in [1] [47] in their research which
showed that, compatibility with important transaction needs leads to the thought of usefulness. The researchers
therefore supported that compatibility has a positive effect on consumer intention to adopt and use mobile bank-
ing.
4.3.4. Social Influence of Mobile Banking Service and Its Impact on Usage
In the quest to find out the impact of social influence on customer adoption of mobile banking services in
Access Bank, the responses obtained from the questionnaires revealed that, one hundred and three (103) of the
entire respondents included in the study considered the importance of social influence with regards to their
adoption of mobile banking services provided by Access Bank. However, forty-seven (47) respondents saw it in
the negative direction and took a stand that, social influence could not in any way have an impact on their usage
of mobile banking services Access Bank renders. This finding showed that, consumers can be influenced by
people they know after finding out the benefits they could derive from using a particular service. Results ob-
tained from this research attest to the findings of the authors in [47] [56] that, social influence has a significant
13. A. G. Cudjoe et al.
13
effect on consumer adoption of mobile banking (Table 9).
4.3.5. Self-Efficacy of Mobile Banking Service and Its Impact on Usage
Analysis with regards to self-efficacy of mobile banking service and its impact on usage revealed that, as many
as one hundred and fifteen (115) of respondents indicated that, their previous use of electronic device could
make develop interest in using mobile banking facilities (Table 10).
Negatively, thirty-five (35) of another set of respondents believed that, this would not influence their decision
to use mobile banking services. From the results it could be seen clearly that, majority of the respondents
strongly affirm to the issue being investigated. The conclusion therefore drawn by the researchers was that,
self-efficacy of a mobile banking service could have an influence on customers’ decision towards the adoption
of the service. This result is therefore in agreement with the authors in [1] [24] in their research finding that

perceived self-efficacy has a significant effect on consumer intention to adopt an innovation.
4.3.6. Financial Cost of Mobile Banking Service and Its Impact on Usage
Results from the questionnaires administered revealed that, a total numbers of one hundred and thirty (130) res-
pondents strongly testified that, financial cost of using mobile banking service would have no impact on their
decision towards the adoption and use of the service provided by Access Bank. This means that, some customers
were willing and would not mind the stress of going for branch-base transaction if the cost is high. On the con-
trary, another set of twenty (20) respondents were discouraged by the cost of using mobile banking services and
to them it was too high, even if it is useful they will still not adopt the innovation. Where the costs are low, this
will encourage greater usage of the service [51]. The researchers deduced from the results obtained that, most of
the respondents who were office workers who did not see cost as an issue could probably mean that, they earn sub-
stantial or above the minimum wage which could have made it possible for them to afford the service. Basically,
this research finding shows that perceived financial cost has a negative effect on consumer intention to adopt
and use mobile banking services of Access Bank which again attests to the findings of the authors in [1] [22]
[55]. This is also similar to the findings of the author in [58] in a similar self related technology (internet bank-
ing) that high Internet access cost have hinder the growth of internet banking in South African due to the high
cost of staying connected for longer hours (Table 11).
4.3.7. Credibility of Mobile Banking Service and Its Impact on Usage
Finding from the responses gathered from the questionnaires administered to the sampled customers of Access
Bank revealed that, as many as one hundred and twenty (120) respondents do consider security and privacy as
an issue before applying to use mobile banking service. Surprisingly, thirty of another set of respondents do not
consider security and privacy as an issue before applying to use mobile banking service. The result from this re-
search is in support with the findings of the authors in [24] [55]. The researchers concluded that, credibility of an
innovation, such as the mobile banking service rendered by Access Bank do have an impact on the customer
adoption of a mobile banking services (Table 12).
5. Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations
This section shows the conclusion of this study and their relationship with relevant theories, and draws a conclu-
sion on the entire findings. The contributions and recommendation given in this research work can be used for
future research and enhance further development in the banking sector. The limitations of the study are also
discussed within this section.

5.1. Summary
This research seeks to answer two questions in line with the research objectives. Looking at the research ques-
tion for this study, which was to assess the level of consumer knowledge about mobile banking in Access Bank
in comparison with the present or current adoption rate, it clearly showed that, there was a high level of con-
sumer knowledge about mobile banking in Access Bank but presently, the current rate of mobile adoption in
Access Bank was very low when it is compared with the number of bank customers that have heard about mo-
bile banking facilities. This showed that, consumers were yet to embrace this innovation due to many factors
which have been described in the research. This also showed that, being informed alone is not enough to per-
suade customers to use the self-service but this had to do with their behavioural intention to adopt the service.
The awareness created by Access Bank to persuade customers was very important and the level of knowledge
gained through various means of advertisement could not be over emphasized in helping to facilitate their deci-
sion in the self-service and this has been equally stated in the findings of researchers in the past [22] [52]. Se-
condly, the research question also looked at the factors which influence the consumers to adopt the use of mo-
bile banking services and the framework was used to analyze this. The proposed research framework developed
were perceived financial cost, social influence, perceived credibility, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use,
perceived self-efficacy, compatibility and awareness. All this factors had some level of significant effect on
consumer adoption rate in Access Bank. Looking at the research framework which is eight in numbers, it was
observed that, two serve as a major drawback for consumer adoption of mobile banking services in Access Bank.
From this research finding, perceived credibility (security and privacy) and perceived financial cost were the
major drawbacks while social influence, perceived usefulness, associated reward, perceived self-efficacy, com-
patibility, awareness and perceived ease of use are seen as determinants of mobile banking adoption in Access
Bank. The perceived credibility (security and privacy) and perceived financial cost were the major drawbacks to
the adoption of mobile banking in Access Bank. The research finding was consistent with the findings of other
researchers of the past [1] [23] [52] [55]. This research was able to confirm that, there exist a relationship be-
tween compatibility and perceived usefulness because the perception that an innovation (mobile banking) is com-
patible with an individual’s need lead to the thought of its usefulness. Perceived credibility (security and privacy)
was seen as a major challenge for providers as this was asserted by the author in [59]. This findings showed that,
perceived credibility had a stronger effect on consumer’s behavioural intention to use mobile banking than
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) variables (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) as claim by the
authors in [1], and this was also in line with the critical success factor pointed out for mobile commerce which
was highlighted by the author in [59] that, credibility can be a setback for the system. The research showed that,
for customers of Access Bank who have previous experience in using related technological device (internet
banking) must have gained more confidence in their past usage of similar services and could have been the rea-
sons for their decision to use the service and equally, few customers (users) are were willing to overlook the issues
of security & privacy and financial cost and to take advantage of the benefit associated with mobile banking ser-
vice. And the majority of the non-users were able to confirm that, security and privacy and the cost were their
major concern for not using the service. From the research findings, it was observed that, there exist a positive
relationship between compatibility and perceived usefulness. When an innovation is seen as been compatible
with an individual transaction or business needs then it leads to the thought of its usefulness by the customers.
This research work is valid, useful and could arguably be used by other researchers and mobile banking opera-
tors in Ghana to improve the rate of adoption on the usage of mobile banking in Ghana.
5.2. Conclusion
From the study it can be concluded that, mobile banking service adoption rate is very low with customers of
Access Bank. However, when it come to all the factors that can influence the adoption and usage of mobile
banking services, majority of the respondents included in the study attested to the findings that all the factors as
reviewed from the analysis such as awareness, usefulness, simplicity, compatibility, self efficacy and creditabil-
ity of mobile banking service can have an influence on their adoption and usage of the service.
5.3. Recommendation
This research work has shown that mobile banking adoption in Ghana is low as compared to developed coun-
16. A. G. Cudjoe et al.
16
tries of the world despite the high level of consumer knowledge in the country. This study can be used by banks
to realize the benefits that could be derived if the innovation is well managed by the banks as well as taken dras-
tic steps to address the issues militating against its growth. Ghanaian banks need to increase and improve the
level of awareness, as customers of banks said they had not been persuaded individually by the banks officials.
The banks need to build the confidence of their customers which will lead to more patronage. There were evi-
dences that many customers have seen the advert but were still skeptical about its usage. There is a need to
change the customer’s perception through a well structured advertisement and staff interaction in order to make
them realize that the service is safe to use. The customers wanted to know the advantages and disadvantages as-
sociated with the service and as a result of this, they could weigh the costs and the benefits of using the self-
service which in turn will reduce unnecessary worries and anxiety. This will also help customers to get clarifica-
tion over confusing issues. The banks should also ensure that the cost of mobile banking service is reasonable
and affordable for students, officer workers, business person, etc in order not to discourage current users and the
intending users. It is therefore necessary for banks to improve the level of awareness and build customer confi-
dence as this will help change customers attitude towards the system; this is supported by the author in [60] that,
sufficient effort are not been made to increase customers confidence in online facilities. Due to fear of fraud and
uncertainty many Ghanaians have kept a distance from this innovation and they will rather go to the banks to
carry out their banking transaction. Customers will be more willing to accept the innovation if the regulatory
body Central Bank of Ghana, takes the initiative to tackle the security issues of online bank transaction in the
country. The horrible experience of Ghanaian on the use of ATM machine is still very much present and up till
now the regulatory body is yet to achieve success in this area though banks are currently replacing the old ATM
cards and the old machines with more secure once and equally, the bank should constantly remind their custom-
ers on how to keep their pin and password safe for security purpose.
Attention should be given to students in educational institutions as they consist of a larger population of the
country due to their favourable attitude towards new innovation and this is also evident that the majority of them
are ATM [61]. Equally, the banks staff should be trained and be knowledgeable about how to use the self-ser-
vice so as to provide support for customers. The effectiveness and efficiency of mobile banking service in the
bank will reduce man power labour and reduce the congestion at the banking hall. The higher the number of
customers that use mobile banking services at a reduced price, the higher the return on investment for banks.
Banks needs to visit tertiary institutions and make the benefit known to students through seminars, conference,
etc, which is likely to increase their customer base and also activate intending users to use mobile banking ser-
vice since there is high significant number of mobile phone users in this category [62]. Equally, more attention
should be given to the office workers having shown a positive attitude towards the innovation which gives them
access to the service anytime and anywhere [34]. It is also suggested that, banks should channel their attention
towards this categories of customers in order to increase mobile banking adoption in Ghana.
5.4. Limitation and Future Research
The further research of this study’s frame work can be useful to advance knowledge about factors which influ-
ence consumers’ behaviour towards mobile banking in Ghana. This research work has two limitations. Firstly, in
order to have a wider range of customer’s perspective a larger population size could be considered and be in-
creased in order to have a more generalised view and also the research could be expended to reach more states in
Ghana, nevertheless this research is still valid having analysed the available sample size with close-ended ques-
tions. Secondly, it would be desirable if this research could have extensively use other statistical model such as
linear regression, exponential and polynomial regression model as this will helped to identify the highest degree
of change in consumers behaviour within Ghana. Equally, further research could be conducted by looking at the
consumers’ demographic characteristics and the adoption of mobile banking in Ghana. This research work has
been able to contribute to the existing literature on consumer adoption of mobile banking in Ghana and has also,
bridge the gap which exists between developed countries and developing countries with particular reference to
Access Bank. Equally, this research has been able to examine the determinants that influence the consumer
adoption of mobile banking in Ghana.
