This research will yield critical insights into the state of e- banking security, contributing to its improvement and ensuring clients' financial well-being. The research will contribute valuable insights into the current state of e-banking security in Tanzania, identifying strengths and weaknesses in existing practices. Additionally, the findings will inform recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of security measures, addressing potential vulnerabilities, and ensuring a more secure e-banking environment for clients in the Tanzanian financial sector.
