Abstract
Recently, there is a significant transition from paper-based to electronic-based payment systems. The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the payment behaviour of the non-EEA students, who are regarded as level 9 according to the national framework of qualifications in Ireland. A simple explanation of the payment behaviour concept is to study how do consumers pay money. Otherwise, the spending behaviour concept is expressed by studying where do consumers disburse such money. Therefore, the central idea of this study starts with that strong correlation between the two concepts and their significant effect on each other. Consequently, the main purpose of this research is to study the contemporary perceptions of the payment methods and the extent of their impact on the spending behaviour. Moreover, this correlation has driven creating the research themes, which were studied within the context of the research objectives in terms of their veracity and relevance. However, since the existing literature needed to be continued particularly in Ireland, this research has filled a knowledge gap in the existing academic work concerning the Irish context.
