ABSTRACT
Internet banking has the potential to provide fast and reliable services to customers for which they are
relatively happy. Due to the technological changes taking place all over the world, many institutions,
including the banking sector have taken giant steps to move in tandem with these changes. In this light most
banks, with GCB Bank, Ghana, not being an exception have introduced electronic banking in order to
decongest the banking halls of customers who spend time unending in order to transact business. The
purpose of this research was to assess the Contribution of Electronic Banking to Customer Satisfaction at
GCB Bank-Koforidua, to this end some objectives were set for the study. These were: To assess the
availability of electronic banking facilities at GCB Bank, Koforidua. To assess the knowledge and
patronage of internet banking services by customers, to examine the effectiveness of the usage of electronic
banking facilities, to examine the problem facing an internet banking in GCB Bank, Koforidua. This is a
quantitative study that employed the use of questionnaires as the main tools for data collection. Data was
collected from management, staff and customers of GCB Bank, Koforidua Branch. Findings from analysis
of data revealed that though there was the existence of internet banking facilities of the bank, respondents
of the study were not fully aware of the existence of such facilities. It was also found that the use of internet
banking was quite expensive and that though the bank was utilizing the facility, customers were not fully
patronizing them. It was concluded that internet banking brings efficiency in the operations of the bank.
Finally, the study recommended that all branches of GCB Bank adopt internet banking facilities to help in
effective banking operations and transactional purposes. To maximize the operations and potential of the
bank management must endeavor to educate the customers about the existence of internet banking facilities
since a few customers were aware of the existence of such facilities.
