The devastating impact of the Covid-19 has necessitated more than ever to address socio-economic issues facing the Muslim Ummah.

We investigated the impact factors towards the use of mobile banking among the asnaf (poor and eligible recipients) for efficient zakat payments. This research is using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model. This study highlights factors that could influence the asnaf to adopt financial technology (fintech) in order for them to enjoy the benefit of efficient zakat distribution by the zakat institutions.
