were also faced difficulties due to less knowledge, less responsiveness and risk in transactions. Recommendations were also given to
improve adoption rate of e-banking.
(Koti, 2016) studied the awareness of customers towards e-banking and perception of customers about e-banking in positive and
negative terms. Data was collected from 100 bank customers. Informations were analyzed by using percentage method and it was
observed that most of the users were males, getting awareness from bank employees, using IB from one to two years. Transfer of funds
was e-banking service that was widely used by customers. Customers were highly satisfied about quick response in e-banking but many
security threats were discouraged customers for using e-banking.
(Santhanakrishnan et al., 2020) Analyzed and compares the satisfaction of customers towards e-banking in private and public sector
banks. It was a descriptive research. Sample size was 1000. Samples were distributed equally among private and public sector banks.
SBI and ICICI banks were selected for study. Various Statistical Techniques were used for analysis as S.D., Z-test and Standard error
etc. Study has been conducted for three main service quality dimensions that were tangibility, reliability and responsiveness. After
study it was revealed that in both public and private sector banks customers were satisfied towards tangibility. But for reliability and
responsiveness customers were more satisfied in public sector banks as compared to private sector banks.
(Amsaveni & Kanagarathinam, 2017) studied the customer awareness about e-banking services provided by public sector banks.
Data was collected from 458 customers of various banks on the basis of convenience sampling method. Percentage analysis and
Ranking method was used to analyze the data. After analysis it was found that most of the respondents were male & graduate and more
than 75% have accounts from more than 5 years. Awareness level about RTGS and internet banking was the highest. The study
revealed that Indian banking sector was in changing process from man to machines and dependency to automation.
(T.Sumathi, 2020) studied the role of trust and perceived risk in adoption of electronic banking services. It also studied the
mediating effect of perceived risk between trust and adoption of e-banking. The study was descriptive and quantitative. Sample size
was 374. The parameter for sample was university students and entrepreneurs. Multistage sampling technique was adopted. Data was
analyzed by using CFA or measurement model and structural equation model. Confirmatory factor analysis was adopted to find the
reserves. After study it was found that trust and perceived risk have significant effect on intention to adopt e-banking and there was also
existence of mediation effect by perceived risk between trust and adoption of e-banking.
(Akilandeswari & Malliga, 2019) measured the perception of customers towards online-banking services. It also measured the level
of satisfaction towards online banking. Data was collected from customers of 3 public sector banks. 50 respondents from each bank
were taken as samples. Information was collected on 5 point Likert scale. After study it was found that most of the customers were
satisfied with the services provided by banks.
(Harikanth, 2020) Studied and analyzed the perception of bank customers regarding e-banking services. It described the problems
and remedial measures to solve the problems while using e-banking. Data was collected from 50 customers. The collected data was
analyzed by adopting percentage; Garrett’s ranking technique, weighted average-ranking technique and Chi-square test. After study it
was found that ATM was most preferred banking mode and tele-banking & smart cards were least preferred. Lack of knowledge was
most common problem and demographic variables were not significantly associated with customer satisfaction.

Interpretation
The five point Likert scale is taken as interval scale. The mean is very significant. From 1 to1.8, it means nil. From 1.81 to 2.60,
it means 1-3 times. From 2.61 to 3.40, it means 3-8 times. From 3.41 to 4.20, it means 8-12 times and from 4.21 to 5, it means
more than 12 times.

the respondents and branch banking is not used frequently. On the basis of mean of frequency of use of different banking modes
1st rank is given to mobile banking that is followed by internet banking, then ATM and least rank is given to branch banking
frequency. The results supports the study (Koti, 2016)
Interpretation

different e-banking modes have a positive and significant relation. So, banks must take prominent steps to spread awareness among
more customers to make their banking easy and efficient.
