The study found that there were distinctive segments within the financial market that had significantly different levels of usage of financial distribution channels. Financial customers| satisfaction with human tellers, automated teller machines, money transfer at the point of sale, credit cards, debit cards, internet banking and telephone banking was investigated, and this information was used to determine if relationships exist between customer satisfaction and the usage of financial distribution channels. Systematic methodology, including design and validation of questionnaire and factor analysis were used to enhance the reliability of the findings.
