THESIS TITLE

The Evaluation of Behavioral Intention to Use Non-Cash Payment Instruments: Enhancing Financial Inclusion in Indonesia

THESE DESCRIPTION

The one of the benefits of non-cash payment is financial inclusion that ensures the poor and remote communities to access financial services at affordable cost. According to literature and empirical studies, non-cash payment usage could lead to financial inclusion then could boost economic growth.  Although the government has promoted National Non-Cash movement and distributed social safety net transfer for the poor via non-cash, some evidence show that the use of non-cash transactions in Indonesia still low. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the factors affecting the intention to use non-cash payment in Indonesia.
