Abstract

FinTech is a newly emerged service that combines innovative financial services and latest mobile technology. Since this service is new, there is a lack of study that investigates consumer behavior in adopting the service. Founded on Regulatory Focus Theory, our study aims to explain two different factors that motivate the adoption of FinTech in China. We plan to collect data from university students who used Alipay and Tenpay (two of the leading FinTech companies in China). The findings from our study will be valuable to FinTech companies in strategizing and promoting usage of their services.
