Abstract

Introduction: E-wallets streamline transactions for consumers by consolidating credit cards, cash, and various payment platforms into one convenient device; thus, these contactless payment transactions have seen a notable surge in Portugal in recent years.

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the determinants that influence a consumer´s continued usage intention to use E-wallets in Portugal.

Methods: Data were analyzed by employing exploratory and confirmatory analysis, and a Structural Equation Model was extracted from 185 Portuguese respondents.

Results: Data revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and perceived trust are important determinants of behavioral intention and will positively impact continued intention to use E-Wallets. Perceived reputation and perceived security are also determinants of perceived trust.

Conclusion: Therefore, continuous improvement in these areas is imperative to enhance the e-wallet’s performance and competitiveness over alternative transactions.
