“With the rapid change in technology and people’s needs and consuming habits, the usual branch banking is clearing the path to the more innovative services, such as: mobile banking and Internet banking. However, adoption rates show that the acceptance of mobile banking services is still low, where only 14.4% of banked respondents reported utilizing mobile banking services. The survey showed that lack of interest, security concerns and lack of awareness are considered the major reasons behind the low adoption of such service.” Ms. Hiba Al Atiyat, Arab Advisors Group Senior Research Analyst, said.
“The survey revealed that Housing Banking for Trade and Finance, Jordan Islamic Bank and Arab Bank were the first three banks that come to mind when respondents think about banks in Jordan, with 21.5%, 17.7% and 17.4% of banked respondents mentioning them, respectively” Ms. Al Atiyat noted.
