Abstract

Financial technology (FinTech) is an emerging financial service sector include innovations in financial literacy and investment, retail banking, education, and crypto-currencies like bitcoin. One of the crucial branch of financial technology-third-party payment (TPP) is undergoing rapid growth, with online/mobile systems replacing offline financial systems. System quality and user attitudes are key perceptions driving third-party payment usage, the importance of these perceptions, however, may be different with countries as users' thinking varies from country to country. Thus, the purpose of this study is to elaborate how factors differ from China to Korea by drawing on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2). Additionally, this study also aims to propose a multi-attribute evaluation of the third-party online payment system based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy sets and technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), to examine the relative importance of the perceptions influencing new technology adoption intention. The results showed that the price value has the most significant influence on Chinese perceptions, while the perceived credibility has the most significant effect on Korean perceptions. Sub-criteria also performs different results to Chinese and Korean third-party online payment system.

핀테크는 금융 문맹 퇴치 및 투자, 소매 금융, 그리고 비트코인 (bitcoin)과 같은 암호 화폐 등 혁신적인 정보기술을 활용한 새로운 금융 서비스 분야이다. 특히 온라인/모바일 시스템이 오프라인 금융 시스템을 대체하면서 제 3 자 온라인 지불 서비스가 빠르게 성장하고 있다. 한편, 시스템 품질 및 사용자 태도는 제 3 자 지불 서비스 사용을 유도하는 핵심 요인이지만 이러한 요인의 중요성에 대한 인식은 국가마다 상이할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 기술의 수용과 사용에 대한 통합 이론 (UTAUT2)을 바탕으로 중국과 한국의 제3자 온라인/모바일 지불 서비스 채택 요인이 어떻게 다른 지를 밝히는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 계층분석과정(analytic hierarchy process: AHP), 퍼지 집합 및 TOPSIS를 활용하여 제 3 자 온라인/모바일 지불 시스템 채택 요인들을 파악하고 상대적인 중요도를 평가하고자 한다. 분석 결과 중국인의 경우 가격이 채택 의도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 반면, 한국인의 경우 지각된 신뢰가 채택 의도에 가장 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 하위 기준에서도 역시 중국과 한국에 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
