          Abstract

          ABSTRACT New technologies have been driving the global financial market, including fintech companies, which provide disruptive financial services in which information technology is the key factor. The objective of this study is to identify which factors most influence intentions to continue using these companies’ products. To achieve this, research by Ryu (2018) was replicated. Our adopted model evaluates the weight of seven factors composing two latent variables - perceived risk and perceived benefit - in the continuity of use of these services. The data collection was performed through an electronic survey, distributed through social networks during May and June of 2019. The main results confirmed seven of the eleven initial hypotheses, highlighting that the perceived benefits, especially the economic ones, were relevant to early adopters and seamless transactions were relevant for late adopters. Surprisingly, perceived risk was not a determinant of continuance intention. One of the contributions of this study is that it indicates some possible demographic and behavioral characteristics of Brazilian fintech consumers, opening up space for a better understanding of the market and service improvements.

          RESUMO Novas tecnologias têm impulsionado o mercado financeiro mundial, como empresas chamadas de fintech, que oferecem serviços financeiros disruptivos em que a tecnologia da informação é fator chave. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar quais fatores mais influenciam a intenção de continuidade de uso dos produtos oferecidos por essas empresas. Para isso, foi replicada a pesquisa de Ryu (2018). O modelo adotado avalia o peso de sete fatores que compõem duas variáveis latentes - risco e benefício percebidos - na continuidade de uso desses serviços. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de questionário eletrônico distribuído por redes sociais entre maio e junho de 2019. Os resultados principais ratificaram sete das onze hipóteses iniciais, enfatizando que a percepção dos benefícios, especialmente os econômicos, foram relevantes para adotantes iniciais e a fluidez na transação, para adotantes tardios. Surpreendentemente, a percepção de risco não foi determinante para intenção de continuidade de uso. Uma das contribuições deste estudo é apontar possíveis características demográficas e comportamentais do cliente brasileiro de fintechs, abrindo espaço para compreensão do mercado e melhoria nos serviços.
