Assessing factors influencing consumers' non-adoption intention: exploring the dark sides of mobile payment

Abstract

PurposeThe new ways to complete financial transactions have been developed by setting up mobile payment (m-payment) platforms and such platforms to access banking in the financial mainstream can transact as never before. But, does m-payment have veiled consequences? To seek an answer, the research was undertaken to explore the dark sides of m-payment for consumers by extending the theory of innovation resistance (IR) and by measuring non-adoption intention (NAI).Design/methodology/approachThree hundred individuals using popular online m-payment apps such as Paytm, PhonePe, Amazon Pay and Google Pay were surveyed for the primary data. IBM AMOS based structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data.FindingsEach m-payment transaction leaves a digital record, making some vulnerable consumers concerned about privacy threats. Lack of global standards prevents consumers from participating in the m-payment system properly until common interfaces are established based on up-to-date standards. Self-compassion (SC) characteristics such as anxiety, efficacy, fatigue, wait-and-see tendencies and the excessive choice of technology effect contribute to the non-adoption of m-payment.Originality/valueThis study proposes a threat model and empirically explores the dark sides of m-payment. In addition, it also unveils the moderator's role of SC in building the structural relationship between IR and NAI.

How phygital customers’ experience transforms the retail banking sector? Examining customer engagement and patronage intentions

“…This article revealed the negative aspects of such transformation as PP, such as poor internet connection. Managers can also build systematic monitoring and risk assessments around those negative aspects; more specifically, they can create mitigation policies to prevent those adverse effects (Behera et al , 2022; Malya, 2022) that may assist in reducing or eliminating PP in retail banking. These policies help service providers advance the retail banking industry in the era of phygital acceleration and make a fruitful customer journey.…”

“…CR 34,1 3.2 Pain points and customer engagement PP includes the problems customers face, including internet speed, usage barriers and online theft. In several emerging nations, internet speed slows with inadequate infrastructure and restricted network exposure (Behera et al, 2022), reducing CE in phygital settings. Contextually, Batat (2022) argued that further studies are required to recognize the PP in phygital settings.…”

Digital Transformation: Optimizing the Use of E-Payment Gateways for MSME Performance

“…E-payment gateways require an internet connection to operate similarly to functions used in electronic banking (e-banking) and electronic shopping (e-shopping) environments [11]. People's habit of using digital payments (digital cash) is a good start for fintech adoption [12]. The evolution of current payment methods has been felt by most Indonesian people who have started to become familiar with and have switched to using noncash digital payments when making transactions, and are slowly leaving the cash payment system.…”

Mobile Money Use, Digital Banking Services and Velocity of Money in Ghana

“…Digital payments utilise a variety of technologies to enhance the security and encryption of transaction data, as well as provide multifactor authentication (Aburbeian and Fernández-Veiga, 2024). These measures serve to increase the complexity for malicious individuals attempting to conduct fraudulent transactions (Behera and Bala, 2023). Furthermore, the use of digital payment methods such as virtual credit cards has the advantage of making a singular payment exclusively allocated to a specific vendor for a predetermined amount.…”
