Abstract: The introduction of Mobile Payment Systems (MPS) has gained increasing attention from telecommunications and financial service firms. However, to date, end customer use of MPS has not developed extensively. Thus, the present investigation aims to explore the drivers of MPS acceptance among mobile communications customers. Using survey data from 347 residential cell phone users in Germany and the Partial Least Squares (PLS) modelling approach, we find support for a set of hypotheses linking various MPS and consumer characteristics with a customer's intention to use an MPS. In particular, the breadth of MPS use situations, MPS risk assessments and MPS evaluations by social reference groups were important (indirect) determinants of behavioural intentions concerning future MPS adoption.
