Abstract

In this paper, we explore the status of e-commerce in the banking industry. A random sample of 43 commercial Virginia bank Web sites were evaluated to determine the level of e-commerce involvement and the potential of e-commerce in banking. Preliminary results indicate a state of fragmentation in the quality, content, personalization, and category of Web sites, although more and more banks have demonstrated ready commitment to “presence” on the Internet.
