Extensive research of mobile financial services has been conducted in digital finance, FinTech, blockchain and cryptocurrencies. These new technologies and products are changing the financial services industry. It is critically important to know how customers will accept these changes. This article aims to discuss the inclusion of Mobile services in the financial sector and how users are likely to adopt mobile financial applications (MFA). Empirical investigation was conducted into what a customer considers to be most important when using MFA and the correlation between level of income of the user and adoption of MFA in Lithuania and in Germany. The findings show that income influences the adoption of MFA in Lithuania, but has no effect in Germany. Also, the key factors of using MFA are: security, comfortability, fast performance and cost. In addition to analysing results, new recommendations are proposed to improve future mobile financial services.
