Other studies evaluating about how people feel about the security for transactions over the Internet banking. 78% of respondents said that the need for verification of user identity at the time transactions being conducted on their internet banking account is a must. From this study indicate that banks or other institutions that perform internet banking service must do well every protection on user identity. This will help them to limit their losses against the abuses of identity.
Research into the demographics of internet banking has also been studied. The result is that people with middle income who use internet banking fear that someday they will lose control over the use of internet banking without a good record. What can be done to provide a better record will make they feel more comfortable to use internet banking service. While people with low income have many reasons for not using internet banking. In contrast, people with huge income even excessively use of internet banking service, they also tend to use the service without fear.

It is true that the internet banking and online bill payment is expected to continue to rise and increasingly popular. several studies and surveys have been conducted by asking people what they want from the internet banking service. Apparently most users wanting a clear sign or notification from the provider of internet banking service.

They want to be notified when the bill must be paid and when it paid. They want to get an alerts to notify them when certain checks have cleared. Or notice when there are a fraud indications. Whatever happens.
Research on the activities and service of internet banking was going on, and probably will continue to run as long as there is demand for internet banking service.

Some people afraid to launch Internet banking activities is that they can be shy to play the internet, getting alone if necessary to conduct internet banking transactions. They think and often see the Internet as a large community of people who do not know them or individualistic. To that matter, which may be consider for those that have been raised in the community who know each other and have a sense of kinship. Sometimes, some people feel ashamed and will avoid the internet banking because they feel embarrassed about what they do. But that does not mean they do the wrong thing or a negative or a misuse of internet usage. It is just that they feel being watched by a group of people with a larger number of banks in their local communities.
