The very important role of electronic services and online services in every society is not hidden from anyone, among them, what is important is the quality of these services. Electronic service quality refers to how effectively and efficiently a particular Internet banking service can facilitate online transactions.

In the qualitative part of the article, 11 banking experts were purposefully selected. In the quantitative part, 384 questionnaires were distributed among the customers of Sanat and Madan Bank in the form of simple stratified sampling. The analysis of data in the qualitative part was through thematic analysis and in the quantitative part interpretive structural modelling, self-interaction structural matrix, achievement matrix, an adaptation of the achievement matrix, determination of relationships and levelling of indicators as well as structural equations.
