The project has found that there is an important association between electronic banking and customers’ satisfaction and it can be concluded that there is a strong and positive impact of e-banking on customer satisfactions especially in crisis times like Corona virus. It is highly suggested that these banks should add other e-banking services behind current services like internet banking, mobile banking, and ATM. Moreover, these banks should also ensure that their staffs acquire basic information communication technologies skills to use e-banking services correctly. Finally, the findings from this paper suggest that these banks should provide e-banking services during all 24 hours and in all days to satisfy their customer.
