Abstract
In the last few years, a crucial business trend has been derived from the information systems (IS) discipline called 'mobile banking applications'. This trend has focused upon conducting financial banking services with the help of smart mobile devices, and now has attained great importance. This study aimed to highlight the importance of mobile banking applications within the banking sector in Jordan. Data were collected using a self-administrated questionnaire from 300 participants from three banks in Jordan. The results indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between the lifestyle patterns of mobile banking applications of users and non-users. However, the lifestyle patterns of users had some common themes; fashion consciousness, leadership traits, family concern, health consciousness, carefree, community conscious and practicality had significance impact on mobile applications users, but cost consciousness had no significance impact on the rate of usage of mobile banking applications by users. Based on the research findings, a number of recommendations are suggested.
