INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Information technology (IT) has become a requirement for human endeavors, especially in the areas of economic growth, market transactions, distribution efficiency, and productivity. The use of software, hardware, utilities, and supporting infrastructures to manage and distribute information through speech, data, and video is referred to as information technology (IT) (Safeena & Date 2010; Uduji, 2013). The usage of IT applications has transformed the whole market world in unimaginable ways (Uduji, 2013a). The banking industry, for example, has reaped significant benefits from an online company (e-business) approach.

These systems also supplanted the labor-intensive, cascading payments mechanism and paper-based payment methods. According to Safeena and Date (2010), underestimating the value of e-banking leads to a wider gap with developed countries, as most banks seek opportunities arising from the new business climate..
