Abstract

This study explores how privacy, trust, and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) factors influence e-banking adoption in Pakistan. A survey of 189 active e-banking users was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that privacy, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness significantly impact adoption and behavioral intention. However, security perception had no significant impact on adoption. The findings suggest that financial institutions should prioritize user-friendly interfaces, transparent data policies, and robust cybersecurity measures to foster trust and enhance e-banking adoption.
