objective and inevitable trend during the international economic integration more and more deeper in Vietnam The development of mobile banking services has brought significant benefits to customers as a convenient, fast and accurate of the transaction At the same time it also opens up new development opportunities for the telecommunications providers, application and software developers, e-commerce merchants and bankers in Vietnam The main purposes of research to investigate the key factors and assess the level of the influence of these factors that impact to the consumer's behavior in the use of the mobile banking services in Hanoi by extending the renowned framework of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) The survey have conducted in districts of Hanoi Capital including Hoan Kiem, Ba Dinh, Dong Da, Hai Ba Trung, Cau Giay, Tay Ho, Thanh Xuan, Hoang Mai and Long Bien with 800 respondents, in which 717 useable responses There are 52% of respondents are female, 71% are living in center area, and 72.5% are working in business and state areas The research tools used Likert scale introduced by Rennis Likert Five components of parameters were used to focus on the aspects of usefulness, ease of use, cost, risks and trust of the mobile banking services in Hanoi The dissertation used Cronbach's Alpha to analyze the reliability of scale, exploratory factor analysis to extract the factors, and regression analysis to analyze and test the hypothesis and factors affecting the use of mobile banking services in Hanoi ANOVA analysis was used to determine the difference between the demographic characteristics and the use of mobile banking services in Hanoi The results of analysis indicated that in six factors studied, there are five factors actually affect the use of mobile banking services in Hanoi area including perceived usefulness, perceived easy of use, perceived risk of social and safety, perceived risk of performance and finance, and trust of customers with statistically significant at 1% level The remaining factor "perceived cost" had no significant relationship with the use of mobile banking services The coefficient R2 adjusted = 0.331 showed that the explanation level of the impact of independent variables on the dependent variable reached 33.1%, the ii statistical value F = 71.832 was significant level at 1% (Sig = 000), the multiple regression assumptions were satisfied, the model was suitable to the study The main findings of the research included: (1) There is not enough evident to conclude the difference of the use of mobile banking services between central and suburban living areas, between male and female, between level of education, between income and between occupation for the customers in Hanoi (2) Most consumers in Hanoi use the mobile banking services to check bank account and transfer money In particular, the purpose of checking account is largest up to 77.5% The other purposes such as pay for monthly bills, pay for

working in business or state organizations are main group of these services in Hanoi area (72.5%) (5) The dissertation indicated that in six factors studied, there are five factors affecting the use of mobile banking services with statistically significant at 1% level, including (i) "trust of consumers" on the services has a greatest positive influence, (ii) "perceived ease of use" has a second greatest positive influence, (iii) "perceived usefulness" has a third greatest positive influence, (iv) "perceived risks of social and safety" has a strongest negative influence, and (v) "perceived risks of operation and finance" has a weakest negative influence The factor "perceived cost" was only found insignificant to the use of mobile banking service for customers in Hanoi The findings of research provide several important and useful implications for the mobile banking service providers with the deeply strategic insights to improve mobile banking services to gain more and more customer acceptance in Hanoi particularly and Vietnam generally iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study 1.2 Statement of the objectives 1.3 Hypothesis 1.4 Significance of the

Internet payment In comparison with stated payment methods, Mobile banking has been less risky by transaction process while still providing users with its convenience and high security However, this service is not yet popular in Vietnam so far although lots of Banks are ready to make use of it According to The State Bank of Vietnam, in front the fast and strong development of information technology and telecom, Vietnam Prime Minister signed Decision No 2453/QD-TTg approved the project to promote non-cash payment period 2012-2015, in which, electronic payments are a key task of the
