For the quantitative feedbacks, a five point Likert scale from 1 to 5 was used, where 1 was for the lowest satisfaction level and 5 was for the highest satisfaction level. Collected data has been analyzed by SPSS 21 using simple regression to identify the impact of internet banking service quality on client satisfaction.
