The aim of this study is to identify the behavior and user acceptance factors of mobile wallet technology. Online survey was conducted among 372 respondents to test hypothesis based on UTAUT2 model. Respondents consisted of 61.29% of male and 38.71% of female with age proportion was dominated by age group of 20' s of 78.76%. In addition, 50.81% of respondents never used mobile wallet before and 49.19% of respondents have ever used mobile wallet. Data obtained were confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis and analyzed using structural equation model. The study found that habit was the factor that most strongly affected individual behavioral intention to use mobile wallet in Indonesia, followed by social influence, effort expectancy and hedonic motivation. The findings of this research for management can be used as consideration for making product decision related to mobile wallet.
