The Influence of Service Failure on Mobile Banking Usage and Its Relation to User Satisfaction

Abstract

The explosive expansion of the internet has changed the way banks communicate with their clients. MyBCA, a mobile banking (m-banking) application, is designed to meet the needs of customers who prefer banking from home. This study aims to analyze the impact of m-banking service failures on MyBCA user adoption and satisfaction. 390 respondents participated in this quantitative study, with data analysis using SMARTPLS 3.1. Results show that m-banking adoption is significantly affected by functional, system, information, and service failures. In addition, the use of m-banking was also found to have a significant influence on use satisfaction towards m-banking. Despite functional failures, users still use m-banking frequently. System failures, such as technical glitches, have a significant impact on usage. In contrast, information failures have less impact than other failures. Service failures, such as transaction errors, also have a major impact on usage. This study uses MBFM to analyze the interrelationships between service failures, m-banking adoption, and user satisfaction, providing important insights for the future development of m-banking services. The results of this study can be used as a basis for designing more targeted service quality improvement strategies, with a priority on improving the core features that are most frequently used by users
