The purpose of this study is to explore how different dimensions of online convenience impact mobile banking (m-banking) adoption intention. The findings from 432 banking users show that access convenience, transaction convenience, and possession/post-possession convenience predict m-banking adoption intention, with the chief driver being the possession/post-possession convenience. Further, results suggest that the intention to adopt m-banking leads to m-banking adoption and usage. These findings offer unique insights to banks about how to make m-banking platforms more convenient for enhancing the pace of m-banking adoption intention and usage. This study also makes several contributions to the mobile commerce and online convenience literature.
