Abstract

The South Korean AI market has grown significantly, yet while chatbot adoption is well-studied, sustained use remains underexplored. This study surveyed 250 financial institution chatbot users in South Korea in February 2024, using SPSS and R to investigate quality effects on intention of continuous usage. Results showed that social presence, response accuracy, assurance, and interactivity positively influenced expectation confirmation. In contrast, responsiveness, reliability, and usability had no significant effect, while security negatively impacted frequent users, reflecting trust concerns. These findings guide financial institutions in enhancing chatbot retention through interactivity and trust. Conducted in a pre-generative AI context, this study suggests future longitudinal research to address evolving AI technologies and user behaviors.
