What is it about?

We advance the body of knowledge on mobile banking acceptance by proposing an innovative and comprehensive theoretical model that combines the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) of Venkatesh et al. (2012) , with cultural moderators from Hofstede, providing new insights into factors affecting the acceptation and how culture influences individual use behaviour.

Acceptance studies in this region are scarce, leaving us an almost unexplored area of research.
