The survey research approach was adopted and data were collected from 200 respondents that include bank staff and customers of selected banks in Enugu metropolis. The analysis of data was conducted using descriptive statistical technique. The study revealed that the level of adoption of mobile banking in Enugu State is still low among the middle aged respondents compared to the aged.
