The Adoption of Fingerprint Payment Technology Mechanisms at the Customer End

Biometric technologies such as fingerprint and facial recognition systems are becoming more commonplace; a phenomenon many think is largely driven by security concerns. However, the applicability of these technologies is now expanding beyond security domains to areas such as service augmentation and customization. The purpose of this study is to identify the key factors determining customer acceptance of fingerprint payment technologies. Findings indicate that perceived risk, personal innovativeness and convenience are key factors involved in the adoption of fingerprint payment technologies. Findings and implications are discussed.
