Abstract: This article aims to understand the association between service quality and customer satisfaction to use mobile banking through structural equation model, because, Bangladesh is one of the fastest increasing mobile banking service providers in the world. A structured survey questionnaire was prepared to collect data from participants in Bangladesh. A convenience sampling method was used to select potential participants in this study. Out of the distributed questionnaires, 240, completed and usable, were selected for the analysis which employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that there are positive and significant effects of all constructs of service quality, namely, tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy on customer satisfaction for using mobile banking. Particularly, the responsiveness has a strong impact ( β = 0.3165) on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the tangibility has identified as less significant factor ( β = 0.0770) on customer satisfaction. Findings also indicate that mobile banking service providers should concentrate on all dimensions of service quality, with special focus on responsiveness and reliability for improving their customer satisfaction. This study has several implications for researchers, banking authority, policymakers and financial agencies when rendering services to end users and customers of mobile banking. Furthermore, this implication also helps banks to understand and develop strategies as well as policies to improve the services of mobile banking of Bangladesh.
