Recently, continued use of information systems in general and particularly the context of internet banking has drawn increasing attention both in academic and trade literatures. However, different perspectives that determine the continued use of internet banking has been addressed. Given the long-term goal of any business entity is to increase its productivity, expand its customer base and maximize revenues, it is crucial for banks offering internet banking services to focus on encouraging their customers to continually use internet banking.

A number of interesting findings emerged, among others, is the lack of association between trust and perception to continue using the internet banking services in Libya
