The factors which are included in this study are perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, knowledge on the Islamic credit card, financial cost and trust. The study adopts the application of the technology acceptance model (TAM) to capture factors which have impact on the usage of Islamic credit cards. The result from the regression shows that trust is the most significant predicting variable on the attitude to use Islamic credit cards with the 24.9% explanation on the variance.
