The technology acceptance model (Davis, 1989), the theory of reasoned action (Fishbein&Ajzen, 1975), the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991), the innovation diffusion theory (Rogers, 1995), and the decomposed theory of planned behavior (Taylor & Todd, 1995) have been successfully forecast the factors that influence individuals to use Internet banking.
