So, the importance of research stems from examining the impact of Iraqi banks’ e-banking and their effect on client satisfaction, mentioning the strengths and weaknesses of e-banking and their effect on client satisfaction. Therefore, the research is based on a basic hypothesis that the quality of banking services can enhance client satisfaction and give a competitive advantage to the bank. The researchers concluded that all determinants of service quality are completely interrelated with client happiness, and Rafidain bank improvements have to be done in all items of service quality with the aim of recovering clients’ satisfaction.
