ABSTRACT
Indian economy is moving towards the cash less transaction. The world of cashlessness is possible
through digital banking. Subsequently, steps towards demonetization of the economy has resulted in
tremendous growth in digital transactions in India .The government has encouraged more transparency
in transactions and increased internet facilities towards empowering the country’s economy. The
government’s focus on cashless transactions and globalization has forced to adopt digital banking, but,
there still is apprehensions on the users. This study focuses on customer’s perceptive on adaptability to
these revolutionary changes in banking. A primary survey was conducted using a structured
questionnaire on the 100 respondents in Coimbatore, district in Tamil Nadu. The collected data
through the questionnaire were analyzed statistically by using chi square technique. The results
indicate that the motivations for adopting digital banking have association with income levels of the
consumer usage of digital banking. The attitude towards the banks’ digital usage was mainly
determined by easy usage, time saving, banking services, the reliability and security and safety of
transaction accounted 68 percent. The study finally analyses the satisfaction level of the consumers
using digital banking services. The main factors which determine customer satisfaction in digital
banking are safety, accessibility, risk and safety level, easy reach of service, amenable service. There is
a significant relationship among customer experience, satisfaction and loyalty, which is related to
banking performance. The study establishes the fact that customers are in the process of getting
accustomed with digital banking and that despite all the challenges, their perception towards
digitalization is fast changing.
Keywords: Customers’ Perception, Digital Banking, Adaptability, usage, Consumer motivations,
Customers’ satisfaction.
INTRODUCTION
Digitalisation of banking services is a move towards providing banking services online which offers a
lot of advantages to the banks involved as well as to its customers. The shift from traditional to digital
banking is, to an extent, measured as the degree of civilisation.
Financial liberalisation and technological revolution have allowed the developments of new and more
efficient delivery and processing channels as well as more innovative products and services in banking
industry. Many banks, today, have digitalized their services and have offered more convenience to their
customers in accessing them. Customer retention and satisfaction have been their focus, of late. The
acceptance of online has become challenging in rural part of the country where people need awareness
and need to be more educated in availing the facilities.
Recognition to electronic transactions is provided by the Government of India as per its Information
Technology Act, 2000. The Reserve Bank of India regulates and supervises all the transactions put
through, electronically. The RBI has also issued its guiding principles with regard to risk and exercised
control on the computer and telecommunication system.
Jackfen S and Nattika (2016), bankers consider ‘minimizes inconvenience’, ‘minimizes cost of
transactions’ and ‘time saving’ to be important benefits and ‘chances of government access’, ‘chances
of fraud’ and ‘lack of information security’ to be vital risks associated with electronic banking. Banking
industry is also one of the influenced industries adopting technologies which are helpful in providing
better services to customers. Quality of service is improved by using technological innovations and has

been made cost effective. But, however, customers’ adoption of these facilities is still posing to be a
challenge in such rural areas.
Many studies focused on customer preferences of specific banks have proved that they go in for
attributes like ease of banking, facilities offered by the banks, reputation of the bank and their interest
rates. Customers, today, do not prefer physically going to the banks and availing their services or
facilities. They prefer handiness. Hence, they prefer banking from home or using digital banking
services offered by their banks.
The service-quality attributes that the Internet banks must offer to induce consumers to switch to online
transactions and keep using them are perceived usefulness, ease of use, reliability, responsiveness,
security, and continuous improvement.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Sathye (1999) in a study attempted to observe the factors which may affect the adaptation and usage of
Internet banking by customers in Australia and found that’s absence of awareness and concerns about
security of information were the prime reasons coming in the way of adaptation to Internet Banking
among the customers. He recommended ways to overcome the said obstacles and said that
distribution/delivery of financial services should be made part of wholesome customer service strategy.
Tan and Teo (2000) in their research analysed the factors influencing the adoption of Internet Banking
by the users in Singapore using Theory of Diffusion Model (Rogers, 1983) and the Theory of Planned
behaviour (Ajzen, 1985). The research study aimed at analysing the factors like social norms and
perceived behaviour control influencing the adoption and use of internet banking. They concluded that
attitudinal and perceived behaviour control factors were more as compared to social influence factors
that affected them from adopting internet banking. The users had perceived it to be risky to use internet
banking but their confidence in the government’s support helped them overcome this fear and adopt
internet banking.
Suganthi, Balachandher, & Balachandran (2001)in their study in understanding the factors influencing
adoption of internet banking in Malaysia, found that convenience, ease and cost of accessibility were
most influencing factors for adoption of internet banking services. They recommended that awareness
among the consumers be increased by conducting campaigns for the same.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objectives of the current study are –
1. To ascertain the perception of digital banking in rural areas of Erode district
2. To assess the factors influencing the customers to adopt digital banking.
3. To ascertain the level of satisfaction of customers on digital banking.
METHODOLOGY INVOLVED
The Study: Period of the study was from May 2019 to December 2019. The study comprised of
different malls, university students, business people of Gobichettypalayam, Erode district in Tamilnadu.
Secondary: M.Phil / PhD Thesis, Journals and other periodicals.
Sample and Design: The study is designed to find the factors contributing to the customer adoptability
and usage regarding net banking with regard to their services provided br their respective banks. 100
banking customers of various banks were surveyed. The respondents belonged to the age group of 18 to
60years. Demographic and socio-economic factors like age, gender, occupation and income were
considered to be independent variables.
Tool for Data Collection: An interview schedule was administered to banking customers residing in
Gobichettipalayam. Snow ball sampling technique was adopted for the purpose
Tools for Data Analysis: Data has been analyzed using statistical packages. Frequency analysis was
used to analyse the demographic profile of the respondents. Hypothesis testing was done using Chi-
Squared test for socio-economic and banking habits at 5% significance level. Factor analysis was

conducted to reduce 27 statements into factors five factors. Factor analysis was adopted to capture the
banking services mix on customer satisfaction in adopting the digital tool.. Factor analysis used to
analyse the data based on PCA with varimax rotation.
Bartlett’s test of sphericity and Kaiser-Olkin (KMO) measure were used to find out the suitability of
data set for factor analysis. The values that were high between 0.5 and 1 confirmed their suitability for
factor analysis, and any value lower than 0.5 showed their inappropriateness for the analysis.

Over 70 percent of the respondents were worried about their safety and personal information getting
leaked, how secure would their transactions be, avoiding getting hacked and dicsconnection of network
or the specific transaction while transacting. They were a;so concerned about the receptivity of the
services and how soon their queries would addressed by the customer care executives.
Their satisfaction parameters could be measured by frequency of usage. About 51 percent of them put
through banking transactions using their mobile phones everyday. While over forty per cent of them
used it several times a day and they opine that ease of use, time saving factor and user friendly are the
aspect that made them use net banking extensively.

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the patterns observed in these data and the
model specified. So, unlike many cases where you are hoping to reject the null hypothesis, in this case
the investigators certainly do NOT want to reject the hypothesis that this is a good fit. As you can see
from my chi-square value above, this model is acceptable.
The Chi-Square Test shows the model fit and p value shows its signifinance level, Although the seems
good, it is also appropriate to check the value of Chi-Square divided by df (Wheaton, Muthen, Alwin
and Summers,1977) as the Chi-Square statistic is particularly sensitive to sample sizes (that is, the
probability of model rejection increases with increasing sample size, even if the model is minimally
false), and hence chi-square divided by degrees of freedom is suggested as a better fit metric (Bentler

and Bonnett, 1980). It is recommended that this metric not exceed five for models with good fit
(Bentler, 1989). For the current CFA model, as shown in above table Chi-Square is 1.86, suggesting
acceptable model fit.
Another measure of goodness of fit is the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA).
Table-18 RMSEA Test of Model Fit
Estimate 0.093
90 Percent C.I. 0.079 0.11
Probability RMSEA < 0.05 0.00
An acceptable model should have an RMSEA less than .05. You can see above that the estimate for
RMSEA is .093, the 90 percent confidence interval is 0.11, .079 and the probability that the population
RMSEA is less than .05.Again, consistent with our chi-square, the model appears to fit. This can be
interpreted as meaning that the model explains the correlation to within an average error of 0.093 (Hu
and Bentler, 1990). Hence the model shows an overall acceptable fit. The model is an over identified
model.

To sum up, the research were carried to have better understanding on the movitational factor that
influence the usage of net banking. Here we classified the factors under five factors say
convenience, accessibility, risk, receptive and availablility which helps to judge the intensity to adopt
net banking were emprically validated with model fit for internet banking acceptance was successfully
verified.
CONCLUSION
The empirical results of the current study show that there is a direct relationship between internet
banking service quality, customer perception and satisfaction of the customers in a semi-urban area
(Gobichettipalayam, Erode District) dimensions and customer satisfaction in the banking industry. An
understanding of the factors, revealed in the study, though there were security concerns, the advantages
were more prominent than the drawbacks. This has led to the popularity of usage of net banking among
the customers of banks in Gobichettipalayam.

P a g e | 1 Studies in Indian Place Names (UGC Care Journal) ISSN: 2394-3114 Vol-40-Issue-36-February-2020 Copyright ⓒ 2020 Authors An Empirical Study on Customers’ Extensive Usage of Netbanking Facility in Gobichettipalayam, Erode District Dr. T. A. Jayachitra1 and Nandini Jagannarayan2 Assistant Professor1 , Department of Economics, Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore Department of B.com (Banking & Insurance)2 , Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore ABSTRACT Indian economy is moving towards the cash less transaction. The world of cashlessness is possible through digital banking. Subsequently, steps towards demonetization of the economy has resulted in tremendous growth in digital transactions in India .The government has encouraged more transparency in transactions and increased internet facilities towards empowering the country’s economy. The government’s focus on cashless transactions and globalization has forced to adopt digital banking, but, there still is apprehensions on the users. This study focuses on customer’s perceptive on adaptability to these revolutionary changes in banking. A primary survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire on the 100 respondents in Coimbatore, district in Tamil Nadu. The collected data through the questionnaire were analyzed statistically by using chi square technique. The results indicate that the motivations for adopting digital banking have association with income levels of the consumer usage of digital banking. The attitude towards the banks’ digital usage was mainly determined by easy usage, time saving, banking services, the reliability and security and safety of transaction accounted 68 percent. The study finally analyses the satisfaction level of the consumers using digital banking services. The main factors which determine customer satisfaction in digital banking are safety, accessibility, risk and safety level, easy reach of service, amenable service. There is a significant relationship among customer experience, satisfaction and loyalty, which is related to banking performance. The study establishes the fact that customers are in the process of getting accustomed with digital banking and that despite all the challenges, their perception towards digitalization is fast changing. Keywords: Customers’ Perception, Digital Banking, Adaptability, usage, Consumer motivations, Customers’ satisfaction. INTRODUCTION Digitalisation of banking services is a move towards providing banking services online which offers a lot of advantages to the banks involved as well as to its customers. The shift from traditional to digital banking is, to an extent, measured as the degree of civilisation. Financial liberalisation and technological revolution have allowed the developments of new and more efficient delivery and processing channels as well as more innovative products and services in banking industry. Many banks, today, have digitalized their services and have offered more convenience to their customers in accessing them. Customer retention and satisfaction have been their focus, of late. The acceptance of online has become challenging in rural part of the country where people need awareness and need to be more educated in availing the facilities. Recognition to electronic transactions is provided by the Government of India as per its Information Technology Act, 2000. The Reserve Bank of India regulates and supervises all the transactions put through, electronically. The RBI has also issued its guiding principles with regard to risk and exercised control on the computer and telecommunication system. Jackfen S and Nattika (2016), bankers consider ‘minimizes inconvenience’, ‘minimizes cost of transactions’ and ‘time saving’ to be important benefits and ‘chances of government access’, ‘chances of fraud’ and ‘lack of information security’ to be vital risks associated with electronic banking. Banking industry is also one of the influenced industries adopting technologies which are helpful in providing better services to customers. Quality of service is improved by using technological innovations and has
  • 2. P a g e | 2 Studies in Indian Place Names (UGC Care Journal) ISSN: 2394-3114 Vol-40-Issue-36-February-2020 Copyright ⓒ 2020 Authors been made cost effective. But, however, customers’ adoption of these facilities is still posing to be a challenge in such rural areas. Many studies focused on customer preferences of specific banks have proved that they go in for attributes like ease of banking, facilities offered by the banks, reputation of the bank and their interest rates. Customers, today, do not prefer physically going to the banks and availing their services or facilities. They prefer handiness. Hence, they prefer banking from home or using digital banking services offered by their banks. The service-quality attributes that the Internet banks must offer to induce consumers to switch to online transactions and keep using them are perceived usefulness, ease of use, reliability, responsiveness, security, and continuous improvement. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Sathye (1999) in a study attempted to observe the factors which may affect the adaptation and usage of Internet banking by customers in Australia and found that’s absence of awareness and concerns about security of information were the prime reasons coming in the way of adaptation to Internet Banking among the customers. He recommended ways to overcome the said obstacles and said that distribution/delivery of financial services should be made part of wholesome customer service strategy. Tan and Teo (2000) in their research analysed the factors influencing the adoption of Internet Banking by the users in Singapore using Theory of Diffusion Model (Rogers, 1983) and the Theory of Planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1985). The research study aimed at analysing the factors like social norms and perceived behaviour control influencing the adoption and use of internet banking. They concluded that attitudinal and perceived behaviour control factors were more as compared to social influence factors that affected them from adopting internet banking. The users had perceived it to be risky to use internet banking but their confidence in the government’s support helped them overcome this fear and adopt internet banking. Suganthi, Balachandher, & Balachandran (2001)in their study in understanding the factors influencing adoption of internet banking in Malaysia, found that convenience, ease and cost of accessibility were most influencing factors for adoption of internet banking services. They recommended that awareness among the consumers be increased by conducting campaigns for the same. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY The objectives of the current study are – 1. To ascertain the perception of digital banking in rural areas of Erode district 2. To assess the factors influencing the customers to adopt digital banking. 3. To ascertain the level of satisfaction of customers on digital banking. METHODOLOGY INVOLVED The Study: Period of the study was from May 2019 to December 2019.

Factor analysis was adopted to capture the banking services mix on customer satisfaction in adopting the digital tool.. Factor analysis used to analyse the data based on PCA with varimax rotation. Bartlett’s test of sphericity and Kaiser-Olkin (KMO) measure were used to find out the suitability of data set for factor analysis. The values that were high between 0.5 and 1 confirmed their suitability for factor analysis, and any value lower than 0.5 showed their inappropriateness for the analysis.

So, unlike many cases where you are hoping to reject the null hypothesis, in this case the investigators certainly do NOT want to reject the hypothesis that this is a good fit. As you can see from my chi-square value above, this model is acceptable. The Chi-Square Test shows the model fit and p value shows its signifinance level, Although the seems good, it is also appropriate to check the value of Chi-Square divided by df (Wheaton, Muthen, Alwin and Summers,1977) as the Chi-Square statistic is particularly sensitive to sample sizes (that is, the probability of model rejection increases with increasing sample size, even if the model is minimally false), and hence chi-square divided by degrees of freedom is suggested as a better fit metric (Bentler

It is recommended that this metric not exceed five for models with good fit (Bentler, 1989). For the current CFA model, as shown in above table Chi-Square is 1.86, suggesting acceptable model fit. Another measure of goodness of fit is the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). Table-18 RMSEA Test of Model Fit Estimate 0.093 90 Percent C.I. 0.079 0.11 Probability RMSEA < 0.05 0.00 An acceptable model should have an RMSEA less than .05. You can see above that the estimate for RMSEA is .093, the 90 percent confidence interval is 0.11, .079 and the probability that the population RMSEA is less than .05.Again, consistent with our chi-square, the model appears to fit. This can be interpreted as meaning that the model explains the correlation to within an average error of 0.093 (Hu and Bentler, 1990). Hence the model shows an overall acceptable fit. The model is an over identified model.

To sum up, the research were carried to have better understanding on the movitational factor that influence the usage of net banking. Here we classified the factors under five factors say convenience, accessibility, risk, receptive and availablility which helps to judge the intensity to adopt net banking were emprically validated with model fit for internet banking acceptance was successfully verified. CONCLUSION The empirical results of the current study show that there is a direct relationship between internet banking service quality, customer perception and satisfaction of the customers in a semi-urban area (Gobichettipalayam, Erode District) dimensions and customer satisfaction in the banking industry. An understanding of the factors, revealed in the study, though there were security concerns, the advantages were more prominent than the drawbacks. This has led to the popularity of usage of net banking among the customers of banks in Gobichettipalayam. REFERENCE • Bentler, P. M., & Bonett, D. G. (1980).
