In addition to their social responsibility obligations, banks are responsible for maximizing profitability and increasing shareholder wealth, and the only way for banks to achieve this desired result is through innovation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to test the conceptual model of factors affecting the development of service innovation in the banking industry.
