This study identified Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), and Habit (HB) as critical factors that significantly influence customer adoption of virtual banking. The study also identified facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation and price value have no a significant impact on the adoption of virtual banking.
