I. INTRODUCTION
The proliferation of, and rapid advances in,
technology-based systems, especially those related to the
internet, are leading to fundamental changes in how
companies interact with customers [1-3]. Mobile phone usage
has spread in a very broad manner both in developing and
developed countries. With mobile communications already as
a prime case for leapfrogging traditional infrastructure,
mobile banking (M-Banking) has great potential for extending
the provision of financial services to unbanked people through
a technology that is both familiar and widespread. One of the
first commercial applications of the mobile commerce was
mobile banking (m-banking) [4], [5]. The rapid growth of
mobile applications has given rise to a new term:
m-commerce. M-commerce is defined as the application of
wireless communications networks and devices to the
execution of transactions with monetary value either direct
or indirect [6]. As the number of mobile phone users is
growing, purchasing products and services using mobile
phones and other mobile devices are also increasing; also the
use of Mobile Banking is still in initial stages and more
research in this field is needed [7]. Internet banking and
mobile banking (m-banking) has become the self-service
delivery channel that allows banks to provide information and
offer services to their customers with more convenience via

VI. CONCLUSION
The result of this study shows that perceived usefulness,
perceived ease of use, subjective norm, consumer awareness
and perceived risk are the important determinants of mobile
banking adoption. This study meets the desired objective; but
it suffers from one setback. Study concludes that majority of
customers are accepting online banking because of many
favorable factors. Analysis concluded that usefulness, ease of
use, subjective norm, awareness and risks related to it are the
main perusing factors to accept online banking system. These
factors have a strong and positive effect on customers to
accept mobile banking system. The relatively small size of
the sample limits generalization of the outcome of the study.
The study is concentrated on a particular location and hence
the result may vary with location and the demography of the
people. Similar study can be conducted in other colleges and
universities and results can be compared.
