This study aimed at examining the determinants for adoption of mobile money transfer services (MMTs) in the rural parts of Uganda, where the adoption rates are said to be low. The study used a cross sectional survey methodology to gather data from 300 respondents from the rural parts of Kampala district on the variables captured by the modified facets of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model. Results of correlation and regression analysis demonstrate that Customer Expectancy and Social Factors have a positive and significant influence on Behavioral Intention towards the use of Mobile Money Transfer service while Transaction costs was found to insignificant. The findings of this study provide useful information to Mobile Network Operators that they can use in fostering the implementation of Mobile Money Transfer services in the rural areas of Uganda.
