present study build on and relate to findings in the literature resulting in new insights. The meta-
analysis included 36 publications from the 179 articles available in the literature between 2013 and
2021. According to the meta-analysis, 8 out of 11 relationships were statistically significant. According
to the results of the meta-analysis, functional quality, perceived value, trust, perceived risk, and service
quality have a positive and significant impact on customer experience in relation to the digital payment
services provided by banks. As far as customer satisfaction is concerned, functional quality, perceived
value, trust, service quality, and customer experience have a positive and significant impact on
customer satisfaction, while perceived risk has a negative but significant impact on customer
satisfaction with the digital payment services provided by banks. Future research assessing customer
experience and satisfaction using intention-based theories/models should include these important
predictors as antecedents alongside other commonly found antecedents in the literature.
Digital payments improve customer satisfaction and experience by making it more convenient, as
well as providing additional insights. As depicted in Table- 2, perceived value influences the digital
payment experience and satisfaction in both developed and developing countries (Mbama, 2018; Ruchi
et al., 2014; Monferrer-Tirado et al., 2016; Keisidou et al., 2013; Sukaisih et al., 2015), providing
theoretical and marketing insights across countries. Service quality influences customer experience and
satisfaction among online customers in Pakistan, Australia, Malaysia, and India, as well as bank
customers in the United Kingdom, Jordan, Indonesia, and Thailand (Mbama, 2018; Syed Ali, 2020;
Amin, 2016; Tjahjaningsih et al., 2020; Desiyanti, 2018; Jacinda et al., 2021; Trivedi et al., 2019; Rita
et al., 2019; Al-Hawary et al., 2017; de Aguiar Mala Azevedo, 2015; Ali bayad). Perceived Risk has a
negative impact on digital payment customer experience and satisfaction, extending the findings of a
study that found security to be a barrier to digital payment adoption and an increase in perceived risk
decreases customer satisfaction (Kar Arpan, 2020; Mbama, 2018; Trivedi et al., 2019; Ramezani et al.,
2016; Tandon et al., 2016; K&J, 2014; Ozer et al, 2013; Geraldine & Ebong, 2018). Trust influences
customer experience and customer satisfaction (Mbama, 2018; Fernandes, 2016; Kundu & Dutta, 2015;
Dehghanpouri, 2020; Beyari, 2020; Kar Arpan, 2020; Sukru & Beykan, 2019; Marion Garaus, 2021;
Nitesh & Sanjeev, 2013; Ebong, 2018). It has gained prominence since the financial crisis. Functional
quality affects customer experience and satisfaction in banks in the UK, India, Spain, Malaysia, and
Greece (Mbama, 2018; Garg et al., 2014; Monferrer-Tirado et al., 2016; Kasiri, 2017; Sukaisih et al.,
2015) in both online and offline activities. It is imperative to look holistically at all the studies done
across the globe to get a bird's-eye view of the important antecedents.
5. THEORETICAL AND MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS
In recent years, many quantitative researchers have used a variety of theoretical models,
hypotheses, and constructs, each with their significance, making it appropriate to investigate their
combined results to investigate the acceptability of digital payments. Preliminary research indicates
that no previous work has conducted a meta-analysis that provides generalizations on the relationships
between the antecedents and consequences of customer experience of and satisfaction with digital
payments services (specifically, functional quality, perceived value, trust, perceived risk, and service
quality) concerning customer experience of and customer satisfaction with digital payment services. As
a result, combining the meta-analysis with the weight analysis improves the work's credibility by
presenting different perspectives on the importance of the predictors (functional quality, perceived
value, trust, perceived risk, and service quality) on the dependent variables (customer experience and
customer satisfaction). The study started the investigation with the most effective predictors in the
weight analysis as shown in Table- 1. Based on the studies included in our work and the results
presented, the most effective predictors of the intention to use digital payment services are service
quality and trust.
Banks and other financial institutions will comprehend the significance of digital payments and
the important factors to consider when designing digital payment services. Functional quality and
service quality are better for acquiring customers, while perceived value and trust are better for
retaining customers, allowing banks to provide services to customers through appropriate channels.
These channels allow banks to provide value-added digital payment services (such as payment history,
balance inquiry, and so on), which they should consider, giving customers a reason to use digital
payment services.
Functional Quality determines digital payment effectiveness; therefore, banks should design
digital payment services with interactivity and accessibility features in mind. Customers are demanding
digital payment services because of their perceived value. They save time, distress, and cost from
visiting branches. As a result, giving customers value, improving their experience, and making them
happy should be the marketing goal of digital payments. Trust improves customer experience and
satisfaction, implying that banks can retain customers and increase profitability by providing
