From Intent to Action: Nudging Users Towards Secure Mobile Payments
summary
Mixed-methods study tests two nudges — a protection motivation theory nudge and a combined PMT + implementation intention plan — with 20 interviews and a 411-participant longitudinal field experiment focused on Apple Pay. Both interventions boost beliefs that Apple Pay protects against card fraud (control 37% vs treatments >84%) and increase real-world use, with PMT+II showing the largest effect. Reports reveal setup friction, bank verification, accidental activation, and retail NFC gaps that still block some conversions, and about a third who set up never used it until nudged.
