The awareness level on E banking was 68.8%. The accounts of 34.8% of the respondents were not self- maintained. Majority of the respondents were familiar with internet browsing but were reluctant to use facilities like bill payments and fund transfer, etc. The reasons for not using E banking facilities were found to be that there are no regular banking activities among the customers, lack of high speed internet and the bank website is not user friendly.
