Technology-enabled banking services are currently being implemented in developing countries. This research examines how citizens of developing countries adapt to these changes in their banking services. Technological expansion has been occurring in the Arabic region since the 1980s; however, the focus has been on trade and services offered by industries. The banking sector is an information intensive industry and should be at the forefront of advanced use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The banking sector has started to utilize technology-enabled services through the Internet and mobile devices, with the goal of improving customer relationships by empowering customers. One common trend is increasing the use of self-service technologies, which are facilitated by ICTs. This study discusses how Libyan banks should focus their technology strategies to relate to customers, reduce costs and improve services, achieved through the use of a survey completed by customers who have become accustomed to technology-enabled banking services in the developed world. The current availability of technology-enabled banking services in Libya is limited. This paper presents a comparative review of the use of technology-enabled banking services by Libyans when they are in Libya and whilst they are in Australia (a foreign developed country where Libyans are furthering their education).

The article considers the main digital transformational changes in the banking business. The current state of banks' use of financial digital technologies is analyzed, and the factors of digital transformation that affect their financially stable development are singled out. It is determined that the digitalization of the world economy over the past decade has posed new challenges to the banking system, which are caused by increased competition in the financial services market. The factors of emergence of financial intermediaries of the new generation and the need for digital transformation of contemporary banks are described. It is proved that the digital transformation of the banking sector of the economy is due to the development of financial technologies, digital marketing channels and innovation. Three main holistic proposals for FinTech development have been identified. The digital transformation of the banking business is changing not only the supply to customers. It is changing the contours of the business and staffing requirements. Such tools as ATMs and self-service terminals, telephone banking, SMS banking, Internet banking and mobile banking represent the evolution of customer access channels to banking services based on the use of information and communication technologies. The article considers the basic scheme of transformation of a classical bank into a dynamic system of a digital bank by gradually forming the directions of digital distribution. Further digital transformational changes in the banking business should be aimed at the vectors of financial education of consumers of banking services, regulation of the cryptocurrency market in Ukraine, definition of common standards of regulation and supervision of banks and non-banking institutions in the area of digital financial services.

Many banks are successfully working in the conditions of growing competition and declining profitability; they are looking for new options to increase the number of their customers, reduce operating costs and improve the efficiency of operations. Medium-sized and large banks, which, as a rule, have numerous and very costly structure, with great difficulty manage to fulfill these requirements. The solution of this problem is possible through the development and introduction of innovative banking products and the provision of modern banking services. Creation of innovative banking products and services –it is the transition from the focusing on the mandatory adherence to applicable regulations, centralized management and the priority of the executive to the orientation on a customer, decentralized management and technology deserted. Creation of innovative banking products and services - is the transition from the orientation to the mandatory adherence to applicable regulations, centralized management and the priority of an executive to orientation on the customer, decentralized management and untended technologies. The main prerequisites for the development of innovative banking products are: individual approach to customers, the development of information and communication technologies, and the active introduction of self-service. Innovative banking products are significantly less time-consuming for the use of bank employees’ work, but functionally more flexible and profitable; the strategy of commercial banks is built based on them. Creation of innovative banking products and services - it is: 1) a definite step in the development of banking technologies, aimed at building a modern strategy of commercial banks; 2) a new organization of interaction with the client in the delivery of banking services. The concept of creation of innovative banking products and services include the following principles: implementation of responsibility decentralization to the level of additional office; development of intra-entrepreneurship; development of customer-oriented organizational structure; decentralization of work leading to the integration of strategic and operational liability; the introduction of material incentives for the individual activity results on a contract basis; development of self-service based on the complex of automated banking devices and information technologies. Implementation of these principles will lead to the direct process of introduction of innovative banking products and services, and focuses the bank employees on meeting customer needs.

This paper reports on the technological capabilities and learning of Thai banking system. It identifies innovation development of the system as it evolved and how the learning process took place. This study is based on a leading technological regime change literature and the results are based on the study of five commercial banks: Bangkok Bank, Siam Commercial Bank, Thai Farmers Bank (Kasikorn Bank), Krung Thai Bank, and Bank of Ayudhya. Mass automation of work procedures occurred during the 1960s and 1970s while the smart automation regime began in the early 1970s. The ways in which the banks improved their technological capabilities via electronic banking services is explored. The results also show that the use of technology in the mass automation regime is carried through to the smart automation regime, showing that the technological change in the banking sector is not revolutionary, but ocurred slowly, i.e. evoled via slow learing process.

Banks in low-income countries are launching e-banking services such as Internet banking, SMS banking, ATM banking, card banking, point of sales (PoS) and mobile banking. Among these planned services, ATM is the most matured service in many private and state owned banks in Ethiopia. ATM is a recent phenomenon in low-income countries (; ), and is still being introduced in financial sectors in low-income countries (Angeli, 2008; ) making investigation of factors of ICT technology adoption in low income countries timely. The authors test context specific applicability of UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) model. The authors' analysis of primary data suggests general applicability of the modified UTAUT model in explaining factors and antecedents of technology adoption but also identifies significant differences in the moderating factors of gender and age. Depending on whether they are above or below the age of 30, Ethiopian consumers of banking services exhibit highly differentiated levels of service credibility and technology risk acceptance towards ATM banking. This suggests that banking services sector in low income countries may like to clearly delineate and appropriately differentiate their awareness and reach-out strategies to their customers who belong to one or the other age group. Furthermore, women in this study are found to perceive themselves as more susceptible to fraud and other security risks in ATM banking, suggesting that special design considerations be incorporated in the way locations of ATMs are selected and in the way ATM technology features are accessed to ally such fears. The authors' work also shows research directions where other scholars may investigate an otherwise much diffused technology adoption in the low income countries of the world.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply expectation-confirmation theory (ECT) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to identify potential determinants of library patrons’ intention to continue using (continuance) self-issue and return systems for borrowing and returning books. The role of continuance is specifically interesting and is well-established in the literature of information systems (ISs) and marketing because continuance is considered to be the central element for the survival of ISs and of self-service technology (SST). However, the role of continuance has been neglected by researchers studying library SST adoption. Design/methodology/approach A research model integrating the expectation-confirmation model of IS continuance with UTAUT was developed and empirically validated using data obtained from a field survey involving 128 active users of a self-issue and return system at a public library in Taiwan. Findings Library patrons’ continuance intention was affected by their post-adoption expectation of perceived performance, effort performance and facilitating conditions as well as their satisfaction when using self-issue and return systems. Moreover, a patron satisfaction level was influenced by performance expectancy and confirmation of initial expectations, whereas confirmation had a positive effect on all post-adoption expectations. Originality/value This study broadens perspectives on SST adoption behavior in the library context by identifying some factors that influence library patrons’ continuance decisions. Furthermore, the authors verified the applicability and predictability of the theoretical integration of ECT with UTAUT in a diverse setting because the authors sought survey participants outside of the college population.

Abstract Recent developments in the field of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have created new opportunities for enhancing both the operations and competitiveness within the banking sector. The application of contemporary ICT-based solutions has resulted in significant changes in the traditional banking business, through the involvement of brand new approaches in the process of distribution of banking products and services to customers. As a part of the services offered by any modern bank, e-banking has become a synonym for an efficient system aimed at delivering traditional banking services through electronic communications channels, available to anybody, anywhere and anytime. The goal of the paper is to perform an empirical analysis of the current situation regarding the level of customer usage and satisfaction with e-banking services in the Republic of Macedonia. The study will enable us to determine which variables affect the level of adoption and satisfaction with е-banking services. The study is fully based on the statistical data analysis of the responses gathered from a representative sample of e-banking customers.
