Overview: This paper proposes a framework for describing why consumers use electronic banking products such as electronic bill payment, credit cards, debit cards, stored value, and e-cash. The paper surveys the literature; reports on the results of several studies, and develops a framework for evaluating consumer electronic banking usage. The framework includes three primary factors that explain consumer electronic banking usage: household wealth, personal preferences (e.g., convenience, budgeting, control, incentives, involvement, security), and transaction-specific factors (e.g., dollar size, variability of dollar amount, offline versus online location, etc.).
