E-wallet utilization via QR code: an empirical study on relevant predictors among M40 millennials in Malaysia

The Malaysian government is pushing for a cashless society but going cashless is all the rage now. The adoption of e-wallet in Malaysia is still in the infancy stage, and the reasons to explain the behavioural intention to use e-wallet transaction via QR code are remaining unclear. To address these...

The adoption of e-wallet in Malaysia is still in the infancy stage, and the reasons to explain the behavioural intention to use e-wallet transaction via QR code are remaining unclear. To address these requisites, the purpose of this study is to examine the predictors of the behavioural intention to use e-wallet transaction via QR code among M40 millennials in Malaysia.
