Abstract

Mobile financial services (MFS) play a major role in financial inclusion in Bangladesh. Approximately 91.04% of Bangladeshi people are Muslims. Therefore, the Shariah MFS now provides them with mileage to increase their daily transactions. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing Bangladeshi adoption of the Shariah MFS. This was a quantitative study in which 244 respondents were chosen to test the developed hypotheses, and a large portion of them were MFS users. Factor and regression analyses were performed. The results revealed that Islamic values and attitudes significantly and positively affected Shariah MFS adaptation. However, relative advantage had no impact on Shariah MFS adoption. Researchers and academicians can use this research approach to examine the adoption of fintech in emerging Muslim nations, such as Bangladesh. This research provides significant insights into the influential factors that motivate users to admit and adopt Shariah mobile financial services.
