Information technology is becoming a basic tool for many industries, as well as creating an opportunity for direct active communication of all market participants, which significantly increases competition. As a result, customers have a very large selection of goods and services, fairly easy access to them, and significant price diversification. All this leads to new requirements for modern marketing. Modern marketing significantly changes not only the functions but also the approaches to business processes. A highly competitive environment requires companies to use a system of interconnected marketing tools using an integrated marketing approach.

Background: The Internet of things (IoT) is a new technology that expanding rapidly and has led to the emergence of new services in the banking industry. Although IoT is an emerging technology in Iran, it is expected to become a paradigm in the future. IoT applications in banking have helped to provide high quality and fast responses to customers anytime, anywhere. Purpose: This research aims to identify and prioritize IoT applications in the Iranian banking industry based on business continuity indicators. Methods: First, based on the comprehensive literature review and practical experiences, IoT applications in the banking industry are identified. Then, each indicator's weight was calculated using the Grey Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). Finally, IoT-based applications in the Iranian banking industry have prioritized using the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT). Due to the unstable economic conditions for the financial sector, business continuity indicators are employed in this study. Also, the reason for using MAUT is to consider the utility of banking experts for performing IoT banking services. Findings: According to results, IoT-based services in the banking industry, including Transmit instant reports, smart ATMs, non-contact electronic payments, and electronic checks, are identified for Iranian banks. Then, These appropriate services are prioritized with the capabilities of Iranian banks.
