Abstract: ABSTRACT: Banks in Kenya have adopted mobile banking (M-banking) technology in order to provide convenient and affordable banking services. In Kenya mobile banking was introduced in 2007 by Safaricom. Safaricom introduced M-Pesa which was the platform for mobile banking and all the transactions were operated through this innovation. The embrace of mobile banking in Kenya was so high that it was the leading provider of mobile banking services and its performance has been great compared to all neighboring countries. However, not many studies investigate the factors that may help the bankers to design mobile services, which are suitable for and adoptable by bank customers. This study fills this gap and examines a number of factors affecting the mobile banking adoption in Kenya. The results of this study will show effects in Kenya that are more applicable. Keywords: M-banking, Safaricom, Technology, M-Pesa, mobile phones, banking. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Kenya'da Bankalar kullanışlı ve uygun fiyatlı bankacılık hizmetleri sunmak amacıyla mobil bankacılık (M-bankacılık) teknolojisini hayata geçirdi. Kenya’da mobil bankacılık Safaricom tarafından 2007 yılında başlatımıştır. Kenya mobil bankacılık alanında dünyanın en önde gelen ülkelerinden biri olmuştur ve bu alandaki performansı komşu ülkelerle karşılaştırıldığında tüm ülkelerden daha ileri olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak, birçok çalışma, banka müşterilerinin mobil bankacılık hizmetlerini kulanmalarına yönelik faktörleri incelememiştir. Bu çalışma, bu boşluğu doldurmaya çalışarak Kenya'da mobil bankacılığın benimsenmesini etkileyen faktörleri araştırır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları Kenya bankacılık sektörü için pratik faydaları olacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: M-Bankacılık, Safariom, Teknoloji, M-Pesa, Banka, cep telefonu.
