현대의 사회는 Single tapping, 단방향 통신, 통합 아이디 등 빠름, 간편함, 편리함을 위해 최대한 사용자의 행동 패턴을 줄이고 소모시간이 적게 걸리는 기술이 우선시 되고 있다. 스마트 웰렛 시장과 마찬가지로 사용자의 편의성, 신속성, 간편성을 적용하려는 분야는 통합 아이디 시장이다. 일반적으로 사용자들이 잊어버리기 쉬운 ID와 패스워드를 통합 관리하기 위한 시스템으로서 다수의 ID와 패스워드를 보유하고 있는 사용자가 보유한 다수의 정보를 시스템에 등록하여 한 번의 로그인에 의해 다수의 서비스를 받을 수 있는 기술이다. 하지만 OpenID 시대의 도래에도 다수의 서비스들에서 해당 기술이 적용되지 않는 이유가 각 사업자의 사이트에 일일이 가입해야 하는 등 서로의 이익을 위해 기술 적용을 꺼리는 경우가 많다. 또한, 다수의 포인트 사업자에 가입이 되어 있을 경우, 어떤 포인트의 적립이나 할인이 사용자 본인에게 더 유리한지 한눈에 확인할 수 없기 때문에 스스로 포인트 카드에 맞는 유리함을 계산해야하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 사용자의 편의성을 위하여 단하나의 ID로 여러 가입된 사이트 및 카드 포인트 적립, 결제와 같은 서비스를 이용할 수 있도록 안전한 통신 아이디어를 제안한다. 또한, 통합 ID를 통하여 가맹점의 혜택 카드를 일일이 찾는 수고를 줄여 보다 간편하고 효율적인 적립이나 할인을 제공할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다.

Recently, due to the rapid development of IT (information technologies), a variety of attempts have been made to incorporate IT into other fields such as finance and manufacturing. Among them, a novel concept in the spotlight is FinTech, which is a combined word of finance and technology. FinTech is a line of business demonstrating an innovation development through IT in the financial service industry. One of the most popular types of FinTech is a third-party mobile payment service (MPS), the examples of which can be easily found in South Korea while the actual use of the service is relatively inactive. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate influencing factors of intention to use the third-party MPS. Based on individual characteristics and the task-technology fit model, the research model of the study is developed, with switching cost included as a moderating variable. The results of structural equation model testing with 316 potential users of Kakao Pay, one of the most popular business models of the third-party MPS, show that innate innovativeness, task characteristics, and technology characteristics are positively influencing task-technology fit, which in turn significantly affects intention to use the third-party MPS. The negative moderating role of switching cost is also found. These results could help managers develop better strategies to motivate potential users to participate in their services.

Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the continuous development and innovation in technology-related fields such as information and communications technology (ICT) are likely to swim against the recession. In this paradoxical situation, the necessity of financial innovation through ICT is on the rise. For this reason, the appearance of Fintech is more meaningful as a new converged industry with the potential to lead financial innovation. The term of Fintech is derived from combining 'Finance' and 'Technology.' In South Korea, one of the most popular types of Fintech is mobile payment. KakaoPay, which is the first mobile easy payment service in Korea, is a much more simplified type of mobile payment service than ones used in the past, and is provided by the most popular mobile messenger service in Korea, KakaoTalk. However, KakaoPay has few active users in spite of its many advantages, which include convenience, simplicity, and a powerful platform. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to investigate influencing factors of user resistance on KakaoPay. In order to investigate specific factors, a research model is developed based on the unified understanding of user resistance put forth by Laumer and Eckhardt (2012). After gathering online survey data from KakaoTalk users, an empirical analysis is conducted to verify this research model. The results of this study give insights regarding user resistance factors in the Fintech sector, and by so doing, it is expected that the important factors of user resistance could help the diffusion of new services when new mobile payment services appear in the near future.

Especially, various and new services based on information and communication technology for the convenience of consumers have been provided continuously. This study examined consumer's evaluation for brand extension centered on the brand extension as a mobile payment service through consumer propensity and familiarity as well as attitude toward a brand. The research is as follows. First, it shows that self-efficacy and implicit theories among consumer characteristics positively influence familiarity and attitude toward a brand. Second, it shows that the planned consumption tendency among consumption characteristics of a consumer positively affect familiarity toward a brand. Third, it is confirmed that the brand extension on parents brand affects the attitude towards brand extension, and the attitude towards brand extension is connected to a willingness to recommend through the purchase intention. This study empirically confirms the importance of consumer propensity, the consumer's perception, and evaluation towards the brand extension of the company as well as the continuous efforts and required company activities to build and form a positive attitude and familiarity of consumers for the brand. This study can be used as basic data for the strategy development of brand extensions in service companies.
