The emergence of the Internet in business as a marketing tool and as a communication medium is one of the existing challenges for the banking industry. Because of this evolution, the banking industry has adopted Internet banking both for financial transactions and for the provision of information about products and services. Based on the ideas mentioned, this study aimed to examine the factors which may affect the intention to use Internet banking in the Kingdom of Bahrain with the following research objectives to be achieved: first, to identify the factors which affect the intention to use and adopt Internet banking in the Kingdom of Bahrain; second, to develop a model based on the identified factors that affect the intention to use Internet banking in the Kingdom of Bahrain; and third, to test the reliability and validity of the proposed model and find its implications on the intention to use and adopt Internet banking. In this study, five variables were initially chosen, namely, perceived privacy protection, perceived security protection, perceived trust, perceived information quality and perceived risks/benefits that may affect the intention to use Internet banking. Besides the five variables, two more variables were included: cultural dimension and biometric technology to measure a significant relationship with any academic writing, research protocols and, more importantly, acquire useful new knowledge which might benefit the banking industry in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The academic experiences from this undertaking have allowed me to grow professionally and personally. For these gifts of knowledge, I am indebted to the counsel of my supervisors, Dr Andrea Collins, Dr Rana Tassabehji of Bradford University and Dr Saeed Al Hajaar. I also wish to acknowledge the assistance and support of a great many people who supported me all the way: my family, friends and significant others. In particular, the assistance of my wife Badria and children, Khalid, Mohammed and Lulwa for putting up with my absence over the years that I was in the process of pursuing this academic endeavour. Lastly, I would like to thank my uncle Hasan A. Rahim who encouraged and taught me the value of education; my friends Khalifa, Salman Zaiman and Mohammed Dito for their moral support and encouragement.
