Abstract

Nowadays, Internet banking has grown considerably in Thailand. Especially, due to the spread of COVID-19, people try to avoid touching money. From previous studies of internet banking adoption, there are few studies in Thailand. Most of the studies do not include user characteristics and internet-related behaviors that may cause people to adopt internet banking. The data used in this study were from the survey in Thailand conducted by the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). Logistic regression analysis showed that income, age, education, OTT (Over-the-Top) using experiences, using postpaid plans and extra payments for online entertainment or storage were the main factors influencing the adoption of internet banking. Policy implications are that banks should provide training about internet banking or mobile banking to customers and improve communication to the target customers to increase internet banking adoption.
