Over a period of time they have been using electronic and telecommunication networks extensively to provide products and services to the customers.

As per the findings of this study it is observed that bankers perceive „ a means to save time‟ and „minimize inconveniences‟ as the most and the least advantage of electronic banking whereas „Need for expertise and training‟ and „ charge a high cost for services‟ are considered as the most and the least risk associated with electronic banking

The paper examines the practices, opportunities and challenges of E-banking services in Ethiopia. Ethiopian banking system is one of the most underdeveloped compared to the rest of the world. In Ethiopia cash is still the most dominant medium of exchange and electronic-banking is not well known, let alone used for transacting banking business. All banks in Ethiopia except Dashen Bank are too late to move with technological advancement and they should clearly chart out the time schedule for their integration and technological advancement.
