The population size for this study was 700 and a total of 280 questionnaires were distributed but 254 questionnaires were returned resulting to a sample size of 254. The findings of this study revealed that frequent use of ATM cards has a significant positive effect on consumer contentment, financial institution facilities also has a positive effect on the consumer contentment and internet banking has a significant negative effect on consumer contentment.
