This research paper integrates elements from factors defining consumer behavior with acceptance of technology to identify and measure the factors influencing customers’ acceptance of m-commerce. The results revealed that perceived usefulness and ease of use significantly affect acceptance of m-commerce while perceived financial risk adversely impacts the acceptance of m-commerce by consumers. The suggestions for strategic and managerial decision-making are offered.
