ANALYZING AND PRIORITIZING THE MAIN DETERMINANTS OF CORPORATE AND RETAIL CONSUMER CHOICES FOR ISLAMIC BANKING IN A PREDOMINANTLY CONVENTIONAL BANKING ENVIRONMENT LIKE TANZANIA

Abstract

The criteria for bank selection by a customer is one of the most challenging issues for many bankers, as commercial banks perform similar functions in the banking system of any economy. Therefore, the present study attempts to analyze and prioritize the main determinants of consumer choices for Islamic Banks. It adopts survey questionnaires with 250 sample size through convenient and snow bowling sampling analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The findings reveal that corporate customers prioritize religious motives followed by low service charges as the main determining factor for their choices, while customer service and profit-sharing came in the third and fourth places, respectively. The findings further show that the retail customers prioritize religious factors, followed by customer services. These findings are indicative that the customers opted for Islamic banks with significant influence of religious motives. Moreover, the study also reveals that Amana bank was prioritized in terms of Shari'ah compliance, while NBC and KCB banks both highly prioritized in terms of customer services, whereas PBZ bank was highly rated in terms of lower service charges. Further implying that customers would place the highest trust in Islamic banks when operating as full-fledged Islamic banks compared to window services.
