Purpose – The aim of this paper is to contribute to the field of satisfaction research from the
perspective of electronic banking users; a topic of great interest to the business strategies of financial
institutions. In this context, the authors analyse the main determinants of user experience with a
specific institution’s products.
Design/methodology/approach – A comprehensive review of the scientific literature has justified
the development of a behavioural model that explains satisfaction using a set of constructs or
endogenous variables. Data was collected from a self-administered web survey in the authenticated
section of the electronic banking service of a prestigious financial institution.
Findings – The analysis tests the relationship between the proposed variables (accessibility, trust,
ease of use and usefulness) and satisfaction with electronic banking.
Research limitations/implications – The study was limited to the data of a single financial
institution. Caution should therefore be exercised in generalising the results. The research results
provide a number of valuable conclusions for financial institutions.
Originality/value – This paper is a pioneer study of satisfaction with electronic banking, especially
of the relationships between satisfaction and its main determinants.

1. Introduction
Consumer satisfaction is a phenomenon of particular importance in the evaluation
process of a shopping, consumption, or product or service usage experience and is
therefore vital in long-term consumer responses (Grönroos, 1991). Both the scientific
literature and the business management world have shown a strong interest in meeting
customer needs to determine subsequent purchase behaviour. Although satisfaction
has been studied scientifically since the 1960s (Howard and Sheth, 1969) following
different approaches and theories, the managerial focus would not be considered a key
element of the value chain until the 1990s (Oliver, 1997).
Growing attention has also been paid to satisfaction in the financial sector as a
result of increased competition and recent technological developments. Given that
financial institutions offer similar banking products and services, many attempts to
justify differentiation and customer preference in terms of satisfaction with the
Industrial Management & Data services customers receive. Electronic banking, in particular, is one of the services that
Systems offers the greatest advantages to financial customers.

branches due to their proximity to customers, the large number of services they
DOI 10.1108/02635571311324188 perform, the added value that the client receives at the branch, and the important role
bank branches play in decisions made by customers. In spite of this, however, this Satisfaction
conventional channel has begun to be replaced by a more agile and dynamic channel as with e-banking
reflected in the data of the World Retail Banking Report[1] (2010) on the percentage of
use of the main channels. These data contrast with the level of customer satisfaction
according to a report by American Customer Satisfaction Index[2] (2011) (Figure 1).
Despite the evident importance of bank branches, this distribution channel has lost
significant terrain to electronic banking and telephone banking in the last 15 years and 751
the level of satisfaction with online banking is increasing.
From the 1990s onwards, electronic banking has become a major distribution
channel for financial institutions (Karjaluoto et al., 2002). Indeed, most institutions now
offer their customers access to the majority of their services through this channel.
Electronic banking has therefore become an essential service to secure client loyalty
by ensuring greater customer satisfaction and building stronger ties with them.
Moreover, it is of utmost importance in meeting user expectations (Berrocal, 2009) and
a major source of cost savings for an entity (Fujitsu, 2009). Therefore, it is of crucial
importance to ensure minimum customer satisfaction due to the costs of attracting new
customers. According to Bhattacherjee (2001), acquiring new customers may cost five
times more than retaining existing ones.

IMDS The electronic applications of many financial institutions serve to differentiate them
113,5 from their competitors, while many customers choose a bank precisely because of these
services (i.e. ING, Openbank, Bankinter, etc.).
Nevertheless, most financial institutions have a business structure with a wide
variety of products and services that are commercialised in parallel markets. In other
words, the traditional distribution channel (bank branches) has been complemented by
752 the internet as an alternative channel to secure the loyalty of regular customers, reduce
operating costs and increase productivity, hence the need to develop electronic banking
systems as noted by Ibarrondo and Sánchez (2005).
We can therefore conclude that electronic banking is the primary alternative
channel to traditional bank branches (face-to-face banking) and offers customers a
number of advantages such as convenience, global access, availability, cost and time
savings, transparency of information, ability to choose and compare and customization
and has few drawbacks related mainly to future investments, possible errors and
security issues (Muñoz-Leiva, 2008).
The objective of this study is to provide evidence of the relationship between the
satisfaction with e-banking and its major determinants based on a review of the literature.
The relationships are expressed in a robust and parsimonious behavioural model
including a set of determinants of an operative character from the banks’ perspective.
This is a critical issue for all financial institutions in this new market where the number
of traditional channels is being reduced due to financial constraints and the cultural
preference expressed by clients, leaving alternative channels as the clear path to
maintaining relationships, profitability, securing customer loyalty and attracting future
clients. This is a topic of great interest given the current social and economic scenario
of the financial sector; a scenario which directly affects bank customers.
To achieve the objectives outlined above, an empirical research study was carried
out using data drawn from a service quality survey conducted by a financial institution
in a southern European country every two years.

IMDS The survey used for the study was conducted between September and October 2009.
113,5 During this time all users who accessed the secure web site were voluntarily invited to
answer a multiple choice questionnaire from a pop-up banner that appeared
automatically when they connected (see Appendix for the questionnaire). The online
questionnaire consisted of a total of ten Likert-type questions with five scales. A total
of 946 completed questionnaires were obtained with a sampling error of 3.19 per cent in
758 the estimation of a proportion. Table II shows the profile of respondents and Table III
the technical data and sample characteristics.
To test the suitability of the measurement scales used (accessibility, ease of use,
trust, usefulness and satisfaction), different exploratory (Cronbach’s a and exploratory
factor analysis) and confirmatory (factor) analyses of data reliability and validity were
employed using SPSS 15.0 and LISREL v8.8 software, respectively.
5. Data analysis
5.1 Analysis of the proposed model
After analysing and confirming the reliability and validity of the initial measurement
scales, we tested the research hypotheses supported in the review of the literature
using a structural equation modeling (SEM). The model was estimated using the
maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method due to the fact that the hypothesis of
normality cannot be accepted in the model’s variables. Furthermore, this estimation
method is preferable in the case of small samples as opposed to generalised or
weighted least squares (West et al., 1995).
Before evaluating the proposed model in depth, we confirmed once again that the
overall fit of the model was good as the values of the goodness-of-fit indicators were at
the levels recommended in the literature (Bollen, 1989; Lai and Li, 2005; Muñoz-Leiva,
2008): RMSEA , 0.08, Bollen-Stine’s corrected p-value . 0.05, Normed x2 , 2 or 3, GFI,

In the Casaló et al. (2008) study, web site usability was found to have a positive effect
on customer satisfaction, but in our study these constructs (ease of use and usability)
have a direct influence on satisfaction.
More specifically, satisfaction is the determinant that facilitates bank product and
service customization (Mattila, 2001), helping maintain and develop long-term
relationships and improve profitability linking them (Ranaweera et al., 2005), enhancing
loyalty (Aldás Manzano et al., 2011) reducing the dropout rate (Kim and Prabhakar, 2004;
Liébana-Cabanillas et al., 2013) and improving E-WOM (Casaló et al., 2008).
IMDS 6.2 Implications for the financial and academic world
113,5 Nowadays, most financial institutions offer their customers electronic banking
services. In many cases, however, they are not concerned with quantifying and
assessing user pleasure with these online services to improve their effectiveness and
efficiency and achieve better satisfaction rates and profitability. The present research
is an original contribution to this knowledge field through the analysis of the impact
762 that several factors have on customer satisfaction with the e-banking sector. Therefore,
this research contributes to the services marketing discipline by determining the role
of the e-banking in the enhancement of the perception of customer satisfaction.
Specifically, web site accessibility and elements that enhance web site usefulness
(updated information, better outcomes, increased client and institution productivity,
etc.) are aspects that need to be taken into account when considering electronic banking
users in general. In particular, these aspects have a significant effect on the satisfaction
that users experienced.
Studies of this kind are useful tools for financial institutions as they help identify
customer profiles towards whom marketing efforts must be directed. By doing so, CRM
systems will be able to combine satisfaction and product and service cross-sales and
hence customer returns. Identifying the routes followed by each type of client based on
the length of time they have been registered in the system can aid financial institutions
in deciding which commercial activities (new products and services) to launch and
customizing the design and structure of their web sites.
In summary, satisfaction attracts new customers and translates into greater
profitability. This is especially true for banks offering internet banking services since
these services increase customer satisfaction, boost retention and improve profits,
which makes increasing the adoption rate a high priority (Kim and Prabhakar, 2004).
Satisfaction improves loyalty (Aldás-Manzano et al., 2011) and customer retention
(Liébana-Cabanillas et al., 2013). Further, this research shows that satisfaction with
previous interactions with the bank web site has a positive effect on both customer
loyalty and positive WOM (Casaló et al., 2008).
