The objective of the study was to examine customer’s perceptions, attitudes, and preference toward adoption of electronic banking services in Tanzania. Study combined attributes from Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), and Theory of Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) models. Descriptive design was employed and primary data were gathered through use of a structured questionnaire. Results show that Security, Accessibility, Usefulness, and Ease of use significantly influence customer’s adoption of electronic banking services. Study also revealed Automated Teller Machines (ATM’s) and Mobile Banking as commonly preferred electronic banking services in the country. Furthermore age, education level, income level, and occupation status were the most influential demographic variables affecting adoption of electronic banking services.The results have implications to knowledge, policy, and practice.
