Thus, developing E-banking services is always invested by commercial banks, applying digital technology, new technology, high technology, information, telecommunications, and technical infrastructure into products to enhance customer satisfaction. Therefore, the objective of this study is to discover the main factors affecting the decision to use E-banking services of individual customers at commercial banks in Vietnam. The authors surveyed data collected from 700 individual customers who have registered to use E-banking services at commercial banks in Vietnam analyzed to provide evidence.

Six factors included perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, social influence, innovation, and communication. They had a statistically significant relationship with attitude and decision to accept E-banking services.
