dc.description.abstractThe research study investigated the impact of electronic banking policy on the adoption and use of payment services offered by bank and non-bank institutions. Using the framework analysis proposed by Srivastava and Thomson (2009), the study employed the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as a thematic framework. Based on available research studies, three variables that are prominent in literature, within the financial services context, were identified. The variables are cost, an element of performance expectancy; ubiquity, elements of effort expectancy; and, the operating environment, termed facilitating conditions in the model. The study assessed the performance of banks and non-banks across these variables using published data and relevant research studies. The findings suggest that regulations in the payments industry, and in some respects the lack thereof, potentially had a negative effect on the adoption of non-bank offerings in South Africa. In contrast, the fairly accommodative regulatory approach of Kenyan regulators created a conducive environment for innovation and competition, resulting in increased adoption and usage amongst consumers, with a positive impact on financial inclusion. Most important is perhaps the observed increase in usage as a result of new innovations. This suggests that these innovations have brought about an improvement in the financial welfare of consumersen_ZA
