Background of the Study
Mobile banking integration has emerged as a transformative force in the financial services sector, particularly for Islamic financial institutions aiming to expand their reach and enhance customer engagement. With the widespread adoption of smartphones, Islamic banks are increasingly leveraging mobile applications to offer Shariah-compliant products and services in a convenient and secure manner (Rahman, 2023). Mobile banking facilitates a range of services, including account management, fund transfers, and even investment advisory services that align with Islamic principles. Digital platforms not only improve operational efficiency by reducing transaction times and costs but also play a pivotal role in enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty (Al-Hassan, 2024). Furthermore, the integration of mobile banking supports financial inclusion by reaching previously underserved populations, thereby fostering economic empowerment and community development (Ibrahim, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the promising benefits of mobile banking, Islamic financial institutions face several challenges in its integration. A primary issue is the interoperability between mobile platforms and legacy systems, which can lead to disruptions in service continuity and data management errors (Rahman, 2023). Additionally, security concerns such as data breaches and cyber fraud pose significant risks, undermining customer confidence in mobile services. Another challenge is the variability in digital literacy among customers, which can limit the effective adoption of mobile banking solutions. Moreover, high implementation costs and regulatory uncertainties further complicate the integration process, particularly in regions with underdeveloped digital infrastructure (Al-Hassan, 2024). These challenges highlight the need for a comprehensive evaluation of mobile banking integration, with a focus on identifying and overcoming operational and technological barriers.
