There are several models to measure the extent of utility and level of awareness of customers in terms of getting financial services.

The Technology Acceptance Model is of recent origin in Indian context which exclusively measures the extent, utility and awareness of rural masses who have associated with financial inclusion products so as to improve their standard of living. The TAM measures the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and in association with banker's role in providing best possible services. The study pinpoints the three variables perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and bank's role in order to measure acceptance level of customer's usage of ICT products. The outcome of the result would explain the role of ICT in promoting financial inclusion products.
