It has accelerated the industry of a mobile communication terminal of the world becomes to be mobile convergence times with addition of office functions such as editing documents and media function such as music, photo and internet function such as searching, email and so on. At this times of mobile convergence, the representative device is a smart phone. The smart phone, is defined as 'a mobile phone to use operation system', offers overall functions like as 'a terminal to do everything' or 'a computer in user's hands'.
In recent, the best issue of IT industries is a smart phone. With the effect of stagnation of world economy, overall markets of a mobile phone are showing low growth, while that of the smart phone is showing high growth.
In this study, it was examined and confirmed that affective factors on process of receiving determination on mobile banking of a smart phone through studying about receiving factors, individual characteristics and characteristics of mobile services for the people unaccepted about mobile bankings among users of a smart phone.
For this, it was examined that actual examination through suggesting a theoretical model and performing a survey about it.
Also, to confirm a causal sequence of characteristics of mobile services(instant connectivity, security, triability, information richness, use convenience), individual characteristics(user friendliness, user innovativeness) with receiving intention which are independent variables, it was performed a survey and simple regression analysis.
Seeing the result of it, it was verified that instant connectivity, information richness, use convenience among characteristics of mobile services and user friendliness among individual characteristics significantly effect to receiving intention respectively. It was shown that among them, use convenience is most influential to receiving intention, and in turn, instant connectivity, information richness, and user friendliness respectively. Among these characteristics, use convenience showed the most significant effect on receiving intention. This was because of the characteristic intuitive and user-friendly interfaces of smart phones acquired by QWERTY keyboard and touch screen, which enables easy operation and convenient menu structures. After then, instant connectivity, information richness and use convenience followed. This means that various functions or information including user services show tendency toward mobile banking receiving intention. Therefore, differentiated to previous mobile banking services on feature phones, the distinctive features of smart phones must be utilized and should come closer to the customers with specialized service development.
Security was ruled out during the process of verifying the effects on receiving intention. It seems that the customers have fewer ideas on possibilities of hacking or identity theft because this is still the early stage of adapting smartphone-based mobile banking service, however, they tend to accept and recognize strategic value of this new technology. Thus, for distribution of mobile banking service, there must be simultaneous efforts to be carried out to strengthen customers' faith on safety, technology acquirement and consistent management.
In younger ages, as the digital friendliness becomes high, the idea of utilizing various kinds of information and multiple functions was the major receiving factor. It also seems that, if the digital friendliness is higher, then the subject is well aware of the characteristics of mobile banking on smart phones such as easy operation and various information. On the other hand, in older ages and in most of the groups where the subject recognize oneself with average digital friendliness, the major receiving factor was easy operation and convenient menu structures. Therefore, simple process and convenience must be stressed out to allow users to access easily.
