1.Introduction
The traditional branch banking, real estate rentals due to increased personnel expenses,
insurance, and the cost of electricity is very expensive. It's almost all banks offering internet
banking customers in a big way and are trying to adopt this medium, the Bank, through the use
of internet banking transaction costs have been estimated to save about 50%. However, the
Bank is still expected to take. Home and / or office with internet access in urban, mostly in the
banking technology savvy youth used in this mode. Net banking customers, it is only used for
information purposes. Citation of internet banking penetration is still not enough. A study of
Internet users assumes that only few bank consumers are using online banking in Malaysia (Ong
et.al 2014). It is clear that consumer demand for Internet banking to grow, in order to address
concerns that consumer banking will be the key to progress. Financial institutions, consumer
internet banking to gain an understanding of the key factors that influence adoption hence, it is
important. This paper specifically investigates the critical elements that influence the consumer
decision to adopt internet banking.. On the other hand, this study will help the Internet banking
to identify the affecting factors which has great impact on the user perception in Malaysia.
2.Literature Review
Internet banking study is not a new area of research. Many researchers have studied the
Influential factors in internet banking which has built the user perception as a whole. User
perception means how the user sees and observes about the internet banking adoption what
he or she uses. There are many factors to take to try and influence consumer behavior in the
adoption of a new technology. Consumer behavior, innovation diffusion, technology
acceptance, online consumer behavior, etc. The theory of many new products, services and

technology has to try to explain consumer adoption. The identity of this study has to
understand the impact of online banking by taking the model of the technology and the process
of taking shape consumer. Technology Acceptance Model Davis (1989) developed by the (TAM),
'perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use, user acceptance of the new technology
has two main effects. More recent research on the influence of TAM internet services have
identified additional built. An extensive review of the literature with special reference to small
towns in internet banking is to identify factors that may influence the adoption. In view of the
Tier cities in Malaysian, social, economic, cultural, demographic and geographic setting,
researchers have observed a critical consumer adoption of online services have evaluated
various earlier research findings. The following variables may affect the adoption of internet
banking, the study suggests, is, the user perception may not be the same as it varies according
to the users expectation and experience regarding the product. Users perception of a webface plat form community practice may be influenced by several factors. These are discussed
below.
are the social power of innovation that deals with lots of users friendly
system . Internet banking is very popular with young people. A recent study by Garry Tan et.al
(2010) found that, respondents normally prefer to adoption of internet banking to their
friends. Moreover, Hernandez & Mazzon (2007) found that, most of the users provide their
real identity in their profiles. This indicates that, users have a trust on the internet banking
issues and policies of Internet banking that made Internet banking to reach out at the height in

the field of banking industry. However, besides the positive effects on the online banking
users, negative consequences also occur during the sharing information (e.g internet banking)
. These involves a lots of cyber crimes such as hacking, phishing uploading fake information,
inappropriate mailings, etc were happened in Malaysia (Ong et.al 2014). From the above
discussed literature, the following hypothesis is drawn;
H2: Perceived Social Influence of using internet will have a positive effect on internet banking
adoption.
2.2 perceived usefulness:
Government felt that a person uses a special system to perform its work (Davis, 1989), which is
defined as the degree of trust that will be developed. Through its technology acceptance model,
perceived usefulness significant variable that affects the acceptance by users of the technology.
A number of researchers using internet banking has proved a significant impact on the perceived
usefulness, (Lee-Kelley, Gilbert, & Mannicom, 2003; Meihami, Varmaghani, & Meihami, . 2013.;
Pikkarainen et al. 2004), perceived usefulness net banking was an important factor for determining
concluded. Hence, the account holder will receive the online system of net banking customers
believe that if useful.
H2: Perceived usefulness of using internet will have a positive effect on internet banking
adoption
2.3 Perceived ease of use
Perceived ease of use is defined as the degree to which a person believes that using a
particular system would be free from effort (Davis, 1989). The difference between ease of use
and usefulness is that ease of use is more focused on the consumers perception of the process
that leads to the final outcome, whereas usefulness refers to only the outcome of the online
banking experience. (Agarwal & Prasad, 1997; Yin & Faziharudean. 2010) concluded, in a
204

simplified manner, that ease of use is how easy the internet is to use as a tool for net banking in
completing their transactions, therefore account holders are more likely to accept to use the
technology the more effortless and easier to complete their transactions.. Obstruction and
significant positive relationship between attitude and behavioral intention suggests that positive
attitude about Internet banking could influence individuals to use Internet banking. Banks can
create a positive attitude amongst its customer towards Internet banking by promoting its
usefulness, ease of use, value, and image (Md Nor & Pearson, 2007; Md Nor & Pearson 2008;
Irfan et al.; 2013) The strengths of TAM are due to its predictive power and the small number of
constructs to predict intention. Several researchers have been replicated
(Davis, 1989) was empirically evidence on the relationships that exist between perceived ease
of use and system use and adoption behavior is determined by the intention to use a particular
system, which has been in turn is determined by the perceived ease of use. (Adams, Nelson &
Todd, 1992; Cao, X. & Mokhtarian, 2005; Davis et al., 1989 Mathieson, 1991; Muthitacharoen,
Palvia, Brooks & Krishnan, 2006; Taylor & Todd, 1995; Venkatesh, Morris, Davis & David,
2003). Discussed literature, the following hypothesis is drawn;
H3: Perceived usefulness of using internet will have a positive effect on internet banking
adoption
2.4 Adoption of internet banking accessibility is often used to focus on people with special
needs and their right of access to entities, often through use of assistive technology (Cassidy
2006). To adopt internet banking , users need to create his/her profile, then they can
communicate through connecting with their financial services as well as other e-finance whom
they are interested in by most exciting experience of internet banking adoption (Ajam & Md
Nor 2013 ).profile normally includes the users name photographs demographic information,

and personal interest (Kassim, & Abdulla, 2006).. Once, the users of Internet banking have their
exiting numerous service
list, they can access to their all e-service of bankers and web faces
platform . This all happens when a user is able to access any such bank web faces platform
easily and rapidly. Internet banking provides the user with a choice of who can view their
account details and This prevents unauthorized user from accessing their information and
secure web face platform of internet banking (Alam, & Musa, 2010). However, adoption of
internet banking is important as this offer new opportunities for making business and knowing
others culture financial services, financial investment. From the above discussed literature, the
following hypotheses are drawn;

Testing H1: As a result of the perceived economic impact of Malaysia's consumer Internet
Banking showed that emerges as the most important factor affecting consumer awareness. This
is an important positive impact on the social impact on consumer perception of the results of
this study support the hypothesis is seen from Table 7. This coefficient is based on a positive
social impact, this study created consumer awareness about Internet banking in Malaysia to the
conclusion that there is a significant positive impact. Socially, the impact of his / her friends or
family members to receive net banking and internet banking, merely because a person who's
going to be, which means sensitivity, will be included. For example, friends, keep up to date
with the trend and so, the Malaysian bank customers to pay utility bills, but only balance test

and offer innovative services quickly, with the credit card Interbank Giro Inter-fund trading,
electronic fund trading account.
Testing All the P <.000 level of statistical evidence is another important determinant felt, and
Internet banking adoption among Malaysian consumers have a positive impact on consumer
perception. To save time and increase productivity, but it depends on the purpose of internet
banking, are only profitable and trading facilities. Malaysian consumers have a significant
impact on the perceived usefulness of internet banking and internet banking has decided to
adopt. This is especially true for Internet banking, service that has been felt, for example, a new
end-user's preference, brick-and-mortar bank, considering the cost of consumer banking, are
attached to the check-in services for the enjoyment of often beneficial, the clearing function
are taken two or three days. There is a public holiday on Saturday and Sunday is usually the
weekend .Interbank Giro Transfer There is no time frame, and we consumers at a cost of 10
cents, with the possible transfer of funds to any account, which is open for 365 days. Hence, the
usefulness of the results we have a significant positive impact on the perception of the
consumer about internet banking was felt at the end of that.
Testing H3: Personality / belief of internet banking have a significant impact on the perception
of the consumer. Since the figure in the Malaysian Internet banking for consumers creates a
positive impact on the perception of consumers. For the sake of greater value to consumers of
the quality of service, is because. For example, you cannot get something they want to do as
net banking faith, innovative services that do not count as long as it may seem. Therefore, the
Malaysian bank customers personality and was believed to have a positive impact. The study of
consumer perception about the social impact of internet banking is affected by the assignment.
The next Government felt, and eventually ease of use and user-friendly. Behavioral / Trust of
internet banking and Malaysia are having a significant impact on the perception of consumers

adopt new innovation compared with traditional banking. It is observed that customer prefer
multiple services or "one-stop comprehensive financial service" instead of single or simple
tasks/transactions. Therefore banks need to build link with other services or enter into business
agreement with major vendors in the market to provide all banking and other financial-related
services to their customers. This might motivate customers to visit more frequently to
consolidate the usefulness of Internet banking services. Conversely, potential customers either
will not adopt services or will select a competitor bank for Internet banking services.
6. Limitation and Direction to Future Research
This research has been applied successfully what we have learnt in the internet banking related
literature of pirated product with evidence from Malaysia. The outcome of this research
showed a comprehensively integrated framework for us to understand the dynamic
relationships among dimensions of social influence, pricing, economy, and personality/belief to
understand the consumers perception. However, further research is needed to examine these
factors in Malaysia with additional samples before generalization can be made. Moreover, it is
also needed to extend behavior intensions of consumers about internet banking and pirated
product.
Applying the (SEM) structural equation modeling analysis using confirmatory factor analysis
enables comparing groups by testing measurement in variance. Demographic items could used
to investigate critical factors of descriptive and exploratory effect on adoption of internet
Banking. Comparative analyses also have opportunity to investigate in future Qualitative versus
Quantitative Research adoption of internet banking.
