Abstract: The present study aims to identify the main determinants of mobile payment adoption in tier-II cities, specifically in the wake of COVID-19. We tried to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by proposing a model that combines two constructs, i.e., intrinsic motivation and perceived credibility in an extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2). The research model was empirically tested using 450 responses from a questionnaire-based survey conducted in India. Data was analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). We found intrinsic motivation and effort expectancy as the most significant determinants of the behavioural intentions to adopt mobile payment in tier-II cities of India. COVID-19 also emerged as a factor, but not the most important factor in the study. The study has relevance for practitioners also because understanding the key constructs is crucial to design, refine, and implement mobile payment services.
