Introduction

Nowadays, the world is entering the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (Industry 4.0) such as new technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, data big data, artificial intelligence is applied in all areas of socio-economic life (Ninuk, 2019). This revolution is a significant trend affecting each country's socio-economic development, each region, and the world, including Vietnam.

Besides, Vietnam has favorable conditions in accessing to Industry 4.0. With a young population structure, most of them live in rural areas, but the educational level and access to Vietnamese people's new technology services are quite reasonable compared to other countries in the world.

Literature Review

Bank Service (BS)

Banking services, especially E-banking services, are all operations of the bank, including monetary, credit, payment, and foreign exchange operations, to meet customers' needs for profit (Anouze & Alamro, 2019). This factor is a standard classification in developed countries under the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Vietnam-US Free Trade Agreement. Banking services are very diverse. Because the customers of banking services are huge in number, extensive in scope, very various in income, spending, age, qualifications, knowledge about banks, careers, psychology, tastes, and customers' needs are also diverse. Therefore, commercial banks must always change and develop to provide different banking services from traditional banking services to current banking products to satisfy the specific requirements of each customer segment (Balcerzak, 2016). Wholesale banks primarily provide credit services with credits through the interbank market, either between wholesale banks and credit institutions or under credit contracts between wholesale banks and economic groups, corporations (Asha et al., 2020).

Perceived Ease of Use (PEU)

Perceived ease of use (PEU) is that customers think using an E-Banking service system will not require much effort. Awareness of usefulness indicates that perception of value is the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system will enhance their work performance.

Quickly learn how to use electronic banking services. Making transactions with the E-Banking service is simple and easy to understand. Feel the E-Banking trading system is flexible (Szopiński, 2016). Use the E-Banking service to make transactions on demand easily. It can easily use the electronic banking service system fluently. System quality: Constantly improving the system quality will help exploit the information system more effectively (Eleni, 2019).

Information quality: This is the output quality of the information system: reliable, complete, and timely. Service quality: insurance, reliability, responsiveness (Yaseen & El Qirem, 2018). The compatibility between technology and work (Task-technology fit): To bring users the most convenient in using the system (Hanjun, 2018).

Summary: The extent to which a person believes that using a system will enhance his or her work performance (Suk, 2018). Electronic service is useful if it provides a consumer service, but does not expect the consumer delivery not met. Users may continue to use the automated service if they find it useful, even if they are not satisfied with their previous use. Therefore, perceived ease of use affecting the banking service of commercial banks. Hypothesis 1 following:

Hypothesis H1: Perceived ease of use has a positive impact on the banking service of commercial banks in Dong Nai province.

Expected Efficiency (EE)

The expected efficiency (EE) is the level that customers believe that the E-Banking system will help to be more effective in banking-related jobs. Perception of effectiveness is the degree to which a user believes that a particular method used without effort (Igaz & Ali, 2013). According to this study, this factor is understood as customers' confidence when they can easily use the banking technology system (Yaseen & El Qirem, 2018). Customers find the E-Banking service very helpful and convenient. Using E-Banking increases productivity and quality of work. E-Banking helps to complete banking-related tasks (Islam & Borak, 2011) quickly. Using the E-Banking service saves time. The ease with which a computer user believes in performing a job on a computer depends significantly on the interface design of the network, training programs on how to use the computer, and specific language. Currently, the software installed on the computer (Lu, 2017).

Summary: In the context of e-payment, an easy-to-use system needs user-friendly interfaces such as clear and conspicuous steps, appropriate content and graphic layout, useful functions, error messages the commands are clear and easy to understand. Therefore, expected efficiency affecting the banking service of commercial banks. Hypothesis 2 following:

Hypothesis H2: Expected efficiency has a positive impact on the banking service of commercial banks in Dong Nai province.
