Abstract

The effect of Word-of-Mouth on customer behavior has been studied in many countries. However, this effect hasn't been found, especially in the Vietnamese banking industry . This study, therefore, aims to examine whether Word-of-Mouth is the main driver of the adoption behavior of mobile banking in Vietnam. The study includes a data sample of 272 Vietnamese mobile banking customers, which was collected through a convenient sampling method. The data were then submitted to PLS-SEM for testing the research hypothesis and model. The results show that Word-of-Mouth is the main driving factor in explaining the adoption behavior of Vietnamese customers towards mobile banking. However, other factors, including Perceived Usefulness, Trust, and Social Influence, also significantly affect their Intention to use mobile banking. Surprisingly, Perceived Usefulness has the most substantial effect in our research model. The results highlight the importance of the related Word-of-Mouth marketing strategies in promoting mobile banking services .
