Abstract

The present study focuses on the factors relating to why Baby Boomers are reluctant to adopt internet banking and to investigate the level of convenience experienced when using it. A quantitative method was employed to analyse the data based on the conceptual framework. A survey questionnaire was chosen as the research instrument. The findings show that the two independent variables, service quality and convenience, did not correlate, but there was a significant affect from customer satisfaction with internet banking among the Baby Boomer respondents. The R-squared value was 0.928, meaning that 92.8% of the both independent variables affected the dependent variable. Another 7.2% was indicated for other independent variables not used in this study.
