2.2 Literature review
To understand the importance of the usage of E banking transaction for customers satisfaction
6

As per the review of Hanafizadeh and et.al., (2014), E banking services has become a key
tool for the banking sector firms for providing satisfaction to there customers and influencing
them to purchase the banking products and services to its consumers. Scholar from the study has
analysed that there are different ways have produced by banks which is an English Bank to
increasing the sales of its products like Retail banking, commercial banking, investment banking
and wealth management. Introduction of Mobile banking applications and E portal on Banks has
provided the easiest ways to the people in UK, to get assistance and services without wasting the
time on visiting the bank. Lu and et.al, (2015) also provided support through his literature which
stated that E electronic and mobile Banking in present age are considered as a source of income
and growth of people as it has provided various opportunities to the customers of banks to make
their investments easily in their preferred and profitable schemes which are launched by the
bank. Further, Critical review of literature also states that there is major importance of E banking
and mobile banking facilities for banks to provide monetary and non monetary supports to their
customers by making there transaction easily through use of applications which are developed by
them. As per the analysis, 75% of total population in UK has completed knowledge about the use
of Electronic and mobile banking services.
To evaluate the awareness of E banking transaction between the customers of Barclay's.
According to Shaikh and Karjaluoto, (2015), data which are published by the banks in
their report have stated that, there are providing the latest technological services to their
customers as compared to other banking firms in UK and majority part of their overall existing
customers are using there E banking services for the purchase of their products and services.
They have also stated that sales of banking products and services have been increased after
development of Mobile banking applications. Journal of Thakur and Srivastava, (2014), also
provided favourable answer and understand that the awareness of E banking has been increased
continuously between the customers of banks, with the continuous development of technology
and increase in number of E banking facilities has provided major support to banks in satisfying
the needs of their customers. Further, banks have also used various communication channels like
direct mailings, SMS and digital media networking to spread of various easiest mobile banking
service among the customer. They have also provided online verification services through they
which people can easily verify there documents digitally for funds transfer and using the
commercial as well as retail banking services. It has made it easier for various companies and
7

outlets in country to accept the digital payments from their customers through introduction of
new commercial payment application for mobile phone.
To identify the reasons for preferring E-banking by clients.
On contrary to this, Critics of literature of Mohammadi, (2015) has also provided an
understanding that Electronic and Mobile banking are also considered as critical task for
customers of banks and creates various problems for them in making transactions digitally.
Mohammadi, (2015), have argued that mode of digital payments which is introduced by banks is
not considered easy for its and have various disadvantage for them. The process mobile banking
is also time consuming for those who don't have an idea and knowledge about the process to be
make registration on Mobile applications to get the services. Some times it will not be easily
assessable to customers and creates difficulties in making payment. Literature of Hanafizadeh,
Keating and Khedmatgozar, (2014) also supported these arguments and stated that many
problems like Transaction time out, difficult process of making payment and requires a lot of
payments verification procedure and the customers have faced difficulties in verification of their
documents digitally. Sometimes the funds which is transferred by the customers will take too
much time in processing and also causes failure due to unexpected error. Other than this, Mobile
also creates problems for the people by wrongly transferring there funds or confidential
information to other people in country which are not present in particular country. Further,
introduction of mobile banking services by banks in considered as beneficial but it has provided
major opportunities to some fraudulent people who will always try to hack the confidential
information of its customers. These applications have made critical situation and created a
problem of lack of secrecy in fund transfer. As per the report of Government, there are many
people in UK who have become a subject of fraud and suffered a huge amount of loss by using
this mobile applications.
Other than this, there are also some other reasons due to which the E banking service
have been considered as important for organization and individuals in UK. Banking sector
industry has achieved major growth after introduction of mobile banking service as it has made
easier for them to increase there customers base and provided information to their customers
about new launched financial and wealth management services as said by Upadhyay and
Jahanyan, (2016). By using the mobile application of banks, its customers can also get
information various interest rates which are charged by bank on Loans and deposits. It has also
8

increased in the number of savings account in banks along with an increase in investment of
people from other countries in various profitable schemes which are offered by Bank for people
of other country. Further, introduction of these E services have reduced the implications and
have also encouraged the trade of UK nations will other countries. Digital money transfer have
also reduced the efforts of bank's customers and also enable the companies to accept digital
payments. Various important software have been developed by banks to remove the problems
which faced by their customers in using the digital payments and purchasing of products and
services. By using the latest technology services and adopting the digital communication
network banking sector firms like Barclays have become able to provide financial support and 24
hours banking services to its customers without any risk in deposit and withdrawal of payments.
Further, they have also introduced some important service for investors of share market like
accessibility of de- mat account on mobile and loan registration for getting loan facilities on
purchase of share and securities in market.
Thus, it can be said the review of these important literature may vary with each other because it
reflects the review of study which is made by different scholars but it ultimately provides an
understanding that awareness of electronic and mobile banking has been increasing continuous
among the customers.
CHAPTER 3
3.1 Methodology, methods and techniques
Research methodology comprises various research factors which assist the scholar in
determining effective pattern of conducting successful research. It offers different type of tools

Research Philosophy: Research philosophy assist the scholar in developing understanding over
the research aim and topic which in entire research project. Further, there are two types of
Research philosophies that interpretivism and positivism. Both the philosophy helps in analysing
issues and deriving appropriate solutions. The interpretivism involves qualitative approach of
study and its is unstructured format of conducting process which comprise, interview, door to
questioning, focused group and observation. IT bis the easiest way of analysing collected data.
Further, it helps scholar in drawing accurate conclusion Apparently the positivism approach of
research provides structured plan for conducting research process and in this the scholar derives
solution and answers from already available data. It is based on the already available facts and
figures. Thus, to make research reliable in this research project the author will make use of
interpretivism philosophy.
Research Design: It is most crucial aspect of study and its process as it is the blue print of
collected information. This provides various aspects of research design according to the research
approach and philosophy used for developing understanding like it comprise, exploratory. Cross
sectional, descriptive, analytical design (Kumar, 2014). Further, in this the analytical design
