Abstract

This study estimates the effect of financial innovations on the frequency of cashless payments by cardholders in the Russian retail payments market. Using a representative nation-wide survey of 1500 individuals from 2017 this study finds significant robust evidence that various types of financial innovations promote activity of consumers in the retail payments market. This paper contributes to the existing literature in retail payments by empirically analyzing the effects of emerging and existing retail financial innovations on the consumers’ behavior in the Russian retail payments market. The results of the paper offer important implications for financial services providers and regulators by outlining the role of financial innovations in promoting cardholders activity.
