Abstract

Due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and mobile devices, mobile wallets (m-wallets) are providing a convenient payment method for customers to complete financial transactions. With an aim to investigate the factors that influence users' behavioural intention to use m-wallet applications, this study extended the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model. Data from 544 responses was analysed using partial least squares (PLS) of structure equation modelling (SEM). The findings of this study confirmed that users' behavioural intention towards the use of m-wallet applications is influenced by performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, facilitating conditions, perceived compatibility, personal innovativeness, individual mobility, trust and perceived risk; though, price value and social influence were not significant. The study suggests several theoretical and practical implications that can provide fruitful insights to both academic researchers and professionals to capitalise on different strategies to attain the anticipated benefits of m-wallet applications.
