Furthermore, result of the religiosity measurement will be used to study the relationship between religiosity and the selection of the Islamic bank.

This research has successfully developed a measurement of religiosity, which is called Islamic Religiosity Scale (IRS).

Nevertheless, on other hand, this study also revealed that religiosity is not the only factor that influences customers to selecting the Islamic banks, because the degree of religiosity of Islamic bank customers do not differ significantly with customers who hold accounts in both bank.
