The rationale for the investigation stems from the fact that while more than 61% of Tanzanians own or have access to mobile phones and the mobile usage in major cities increases, there is decrease of NECTA candidates who opt mobile examination fee payment method. The paper attempts to model the individual intention to use mobile payment systems for paying examination fees in Tanzania major cities. It concludes that the factors that had significant impact on the individual intention to use mobile payment systems, performance expectance, social influences and trust is necessary.
