   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en_US">The aim of the research was to "investigate how the customers perceive the &#xd;
effectiveness of NamPost Visa Cards on their banking satisfaction in the Erongo &#xd;
Region." The objectives of this research were (1) to assess the effectiveness of the &#xd;
NamPost Visa Card on customer banking satisfaction in the Erongo Region, (2) to &#xd;
identify the challenges faced by NamPost customers during their banking transactions &#xd;
in the Erongo Region, and (3) to determine the customer service strategies that can be &#xd;
used to improve banking in the Erongo Region. A mixed research methodology was &#xd;
used to collect data from employees and customers of NamPost through a closed-ended &#xd;
questionnaire, which was completed by 388 customers, and an in-depth interview, &#xd;
which was administered to 12 employees of NamPost in the Erongo Region. The study &#xd;
established that e-banking offers a variety of banking services to customers and that &#xd;
the use of Visa Cards provides a banking method for using post-savings books. &#xd;
Furthermore, the study found that carrying Visa cards is safer than carrying cash &#xd;
because funds are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week with Visa cards. More &#xd;
so, the study revealed that Visa cards are convenient to use, and the accounts can be &#xd;
linked to mobile phones for reporting transactions, making it easier to manage &#xd;
transactions. One of the main challenges highlighted was that the customers could &#xd;
suffer considerable losses when the system is offline, or they could suffer data &#xd;
corruption or hardware failure. Furthermore, the study found that a lack of technical &#xd;
knowledge about how to use Visa cards could cause complications for large &#xd;
transactions. Apart from that, the study found that there are several fees associated &#xd;
with using a Visa Card and that if one forgets the Visa Card PIN, they might not have &#xd;
the option to complete the transaction. The study recommended that the service fees &#xd;
on the transactions be reduced and that simple terminology be used with examples &#xd;
iv&#xd;
when setting up a payee. This will enable the customers to not struggle to understand &#xd;
or read the ATM output while they are doing their transactions. More, the study also &#xd;
said that improving online banking security issues would also help people use Visa &#xd;
cards in the Erongo Region more often</dim:field>
