Abstract:

This paper seeks to capture the determinants of ICT adoption in the financial sector. Estimating the client ICT adoption model using the fixed effect estimator reveals that people's access to electricity and school education influence ICT adoption by SSA populations. For ICT adoption by financial institutions, we used a simultaneous equation model. For the estimation of this model, we used two estimation techniques. These are the 3SLS and SURE estimators. The consistent results of these two estimators highlight the determinant effect of the adoption of ICT by clients on the adoption of these technologies by financial institutions. This positive effect of individual adoption of ICTs is even reinforced by people's access to electricity and education. Similarly, ICTs are an important tool for large banks to increase their market power and improve their efficiency in delivering clients' financial services.

Keywords:
