Abstract

Mobile wallet applications are new and promising mobile payment technologies. While researchers have started to explore adoption models in this domain, they have taken a generic approach to understanding customers’ perceived usefulness of this technology. In this research-in-progress paper, we seek to develop a new, goal-oriented construct to understand the perceived usefulness of the mobile wallet from a consumer’s perspective, which should provide a richer meaning to both academic and practitioner communities.
