Background of the research Internet banking is the most recent delivery channel introduced to the financial service industry (Saythe, 1999). Kenneth et al (2010, p. 27) state that “online banking, also commonly known as internet banking or e-banking, has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years”. Along with the trend of using technology in commerce, during the past two decades, there has been a shift from using traditional banking services to using online banking services, so that, customers have more time and more convenience in meeting their needs to use banking services. According to Pew Research Center (2013), 61 percent of all Internet users have used online banking, compared to 58 percent and 18 percent in 2011 (Huffingtonpost, 2014). In another research from eMarketer, almost 73 million adult consumers within the United States engaged in online banking in 2006, and forecasts annual growth rates of between 6.5% and 9.5% through 2010 (eMarketer, 2007). However, many studies indicate that distrust in online banking is not reducing and remains of concern to customers (Johnson, 2007). Customers use online banking because of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. These include not being waiting in line at the branch, not being messy and fed up with paper statements taking up space, and accessing to their account 24/7. Despite the 7 increasing number of customers using online banking, many of them have the fears of not being warranted about their security and privacy (Huffingtonpost 2014). Kersner (2005) states that 68% of banking customers who are not interested in E-banking cite privacy concerns as their main reason. The above factors might influence the customers’ trust in E-banking. Consumers concern about the positive benefits of E-banking adoption. These benefits include the cost reductions by shifting services online, the extra value that consumers receive from online customization, and the improved image that banks obtained from good values they provide for their customers (Johnson, 2007). Citibank.com reports that their E-banking customers consume a large number of the bank’s products and are the bank get more than 40% profitable than their offline transactions (Schneider, 2004). 1.2. Research problem Not only in developed economies but also in developing ones such as Vietnam, online services has been the newly-targeting industry through decades. Much as the customers’ demand, E-commerce has not satisfied them yet, because of distrust, E- banking is one of the problems. In this context, it is worthy of note that understanding the effects of E-banking attributes on trust in E-banking can help to carry out which factor influences trust in E-banking the most, and which one pushes the least. Moreover, keep 8 on examining the relationship between trust in E-banking, perceived value and company image can assist the banking leaders in the way they operate their business, therefore strengthen their business system and provide their customers with the best services, especially in E-banking. 1.3. Research questions The purpose of this study is to develop and empirically validate a theoretical framework that investigates the interrelationships between attributes of E-banking website, trust in E-banking, perceived value, and company image. Specifically, this study attempts to answer the following research questions. 1. To what extent, do attributes of e-banking website (e.g. security, privacy, usefulness, and ease of use) influence trust in e-banking? 2. To what extent does trust in e-banking enhance perceived value? 3. To what extent does perceived value affect company image? 1.4. Scope of the research 9 This study uses the data conducted from a survey in Vietcombank Bien Hoa and Vietcombank Nhon Trach, which are located in Dong Nai Province, Southeast of Vietnam. The questionnaires are designed to the customers of these banks (especially those who already used Vietcombank E-banking), estimated that 200 customers would conduct this survey. The study applied by multimethod approach to data collection, via e- mail, phone and directly right after their transaction. 1.5. Structure of the research The remaining of the thesis is organized as followed. Chapter 1 presents the background, research problem, research questions, and research objectives of the study. It also briefly discusses the scope and the method of data collection. Chapter 2 reviews the literature upon which a theoretical framework is developed in Chapter 2. Drawing on prior research related to the adoption of E-banking, this chapter crafts the research model and hypotheses. In Chapter 3, a research plan is designed with measurement instruments. It also presents the development of the questionnaire, pilot survey and final survey. This chapter discusses about data collection and data analysis methods to test the research hypotheses.
