The propose of current study is to provide a conceptual model for measuring hardware and software quality of banking services in the context of Iran’s banking industry. Current study is descriptive-applicable one in which has been done by a survey method. The statistical population is customers of governmental and private banks in the area of Tehran. To collect data, a self-administrated questionnaire was used. After pilot study, sample size was estimated 551 in the error level of 5 percent.
